DAVID Carradine was MURDERED, his agent claimed last night.
The Kill Bill star, 72, was found hanging naked in his Bangkok hotel wardrobe with a rope strung around his neck and genitals.
Thai cops believe he died when a solo sex game went wrong.
But Carradine?s manager Chuck Binder claimed the star?s hands had been bound behind his back ? and a footprint on the bed did not match his shoes.
Binder said he had spoken to a producer in Thailand who told him: ?For sure there was foul play.?
The actor?s lawyer Vicki Roberts added: ?I believe there may have been foul play. Anybody could stage a suicide after a murder.?
But Bangkok Police Commander Somprasong Yenthuam insisted: ?Nobody else was involved. We checked the CCTV and nobody came in or out his room.
?The room was in perfect order. Nothing else seems to have been touched.
It also emerged the actor was drinking in the hotel bar the night before he was found.
Five-times-wed Carradine starred in more than 100 movies and gained cult status for his role in Quentin Tarantino?s Kill Bill.
But he was best known as Kwai Chang Caine in TV series Kung Fu in the 1970s.
Fellow Kill Bill star Uma Thurman, 39, was said to be devastated.
She wore black to a charity gala in London in memory of him hours after hearing the news.
