She has spoken out on the death of her ex-husband David Carradine. According to The Smoking Gun, there are court documents that uncovered details in which Anderson accuses David of “deviant sexual behavior which was potentially deadly.” Those accusations were included in the couple’s divorce papers.
The details were not revealed, however, Anderson did accuse him of having an “incestuous relationship with a very close family member.” Even though the documents indicated such a relationship, the family member was not released. Even though Anderson pleaded with “him to get counseling in regards to this matter” those pleas were “ignored and he wanted no part in the healing process the other person needed to get closure.”

David Carradine introduced the sayings of the Taoist book of philosophy, the Tao Te Ching, to a mainstream American audience. It is to his credit that he left us showing a peaceful way, in total complete organism. How exactly do you want to die?
David was not on drugs, he was happy, he was high. “He was in the hotel lobby, relaxing and playing the piano — he looked very happy.”
Nobody needs to go home alone in Bangkok unless they want to. A maid found Carradine hanging naked by a rope in the closet of his plush hotel suite.
The autopsy report revealed Carradine died from a sudden lack of oxygen; while his body showed no signs of struggle… the moment of sexual climax is la petit mort - the little death.
Forensic pathologist Michael Biden said that “autoerotic asphyxiation remains a possible cause of death.” The intent being to cut off the flow of oxygen to the brain, and in so doing, heightens the sense of climax. There was no evidence to show the death was anything other than unintended and accidental.
Most life insurance policies provide that the policy is void if the cause of death is suicide, but if it’s an accidental death insurance companies are not only required to pay out … some policies provide that the beneficiaries get twice the payout.

you’re wrong in your Anderson quote. She never gave an id as to male or female. She said “THEM” NOT HIM, NOT HER. You should change that quote were because you are inaccurate. And if you quote someone, you better be accurate.
