A police official said Carradine was found hanging by a rope naked in the room's closet, causing immediate speculation that his death was suicide.
However, reported evidence suggested that his death was the result of autoerotic asphyxiation. Two autopsies were conducted and concluded that the death was not caused by suicide.
The cause of death became widely accepted as "accidental asphyxiation".
