David Carradine's distraught family is outraged over a Thai newspaper's publication of explicit photos taken of the actor's body hanging naked in a hotel closet.
The grisly image of the "Kill Bill" star ran on the fro
nt page of the paper, and another outlet published an autopsy shot of his body at a morgue.
"The family is outraged about the release of these photos," said Mark Geragos, an attorney who represents Keith Carradine, the actor's brother.
In an interview with RadarOnline.com, Geragos also threatened to sue if the photos are published in the United States.
The shocking front-page picture shows Carradine with his hands tied in front of him, hanging from the support bar in a closet. Tattoos on the lower half of his nude body also are visible.
Carradine, 72, who also starred in the 1970s television series "Kung Fu," was found dead on Thursday.
Carradine had a history of engaging in autoerotic asphyxiation, a sexual practice that often involves tying a rope around the neck, friends said.
He was in Bangkok filming his latest movie, "Stretch."
