Famous Actor Who Chose to End Their Lives

[@terereynolds698]

I wouldn't say David Carradine committed suicide, it was an accident because of auto erotic aphasia ( I spelled it wrong ) gone wrong, it was an accidental death. I was heartbroken when I heard Richard Farnsworth had committed suicide, I loved the characters he played, especially Anne of Green Gables.

[@jallan9578]

Well, let's just say that Carradine's death wasn't from natural causes.

[@dougmilne8425]

I agree. David Carradine didn't choose to die. By all accounts the auto-erotic asphyxiation was accidental.

[@jasonpalacios2705]

It was auto-erotic asphyxiation is what happened to David Carradine.

One mistake: Hugh O'Connor died from an accidental drug overdose, not suicide. I remember the p.s.a. his dad,Carroll did about drugs.

[@MargaretKearsey-dv1nk]

Hugh died from a self inflicted gunshot not an overdose In a last call to his father he said he could not take it anymore because he had already failed twice at rehab. His father then rushed over to his house but he was already dead. Check your facts
