It was a shock to the entertainment industry when David Carradine was found dead in his Bangkok, Thailand hotel room earlier this week. And his manager is vehemently denying that the suicide rumors are untrue.

Chuck Binder told press, "I can tell you 100 percent that he would have never committed suicide. Co-manager Tiffany Smith added, “He was too full of life."

Carradine’s body was discovered by a maid who said the body was naked and sitting with a yellow rope wrapped around the neck which was attached to a closet bar. A police spokesman said, “We believe that Mr. David committed suicide but it is suspicious.”

Smith added, "We are not saying it's an accidental death because we don't know. Right now we are just letting everyone know that it's under investigation and we'll see ... I just know he didn't do this to himself."

Caradine’s niece Martha Plimpton expressed her family’s grief, saying, "My Uncle David was a brilliantly talented, fiercely intelligent and generous man. He was the nexus of our family in so many ways, and drew us together over the years and kept us connected. I adored him as a child, and as an adult I admired and respected him. We will all miss him terribly."
