Bangkok – David Carradine’s manager claims that his client’s death was “foul play”. “There is no way the actor, found dead in Thailand, would have committed suicide,” he said.

“It is my belief that this is the work of Chinese agents,” said Chuck Binder, the star’s manager of six years. “He was doing a bunch of films, he was coming back to do more films, it was all great. He’d just bought a brand-new car. I think he was in a really great place. He was in a really happy marriage. And so none of it makes sense unless this is murder,” he said.

The actor was found naked in a Bangkok hotel with a rope around his neck and genitals. “There was no evidence of a struggle,” said Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha of the Royal Thai Police.

Nevertheless, Binder speculated that the motive for Carradine’s death was revenge. “David’s been looking over his shoulder since 1972, after killing the Chinese Emperor’s nephew. If you recall, the nephew murdered Grasshopper’s mentor and elder, Master Po. The Emperor’s assassins never gave up. I think they finally got him.”

Autopsy results were not expected before next week at earliest.

Binder joins Carradine’s family and friends, including his Kill Bill co-star Michael Madsen, in saying the actor was happy and would not have committed suicide. Madsen told Los Angeles police that he has long suspected Lucy Liu of having ties with China. “You should check her alibi,” he was quoted in a leaked police report.”

BANGKOK, THAILAND – The Thai government, embarrassed by the latest ASEAN summit disruption, has declared that elections will henceforth take place every 30 days, in an attempt to rein in the increasingly chaotic domestic situation.

Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva at noon Monday declared the new policy, citing increasing danger of violence by anti-government protesters in the capital and elsewhere. “Any more of this sort of behavior,” he said, “and we’ll become the Bolivia of South East Asia.”

Abhisit said the policy was not announced earlier in Bangkok because the government wanted to keep normal order there, but the situation became tense and the government had to take drastic measures to restore normality.

He also asked Deputy Prime Minister in charge of security matters, Suthep Thaugsuban, to take charge of enforcing the next election.

The move follows gunfire from unidentified sources, heard during a scuffle as the prime minister’s car left the Ministry of Interior Sunday afternoon.

Television footage showed protesters smashing the prime minister’s car with clubs, iron bars, rocks, flower pots and bottles forcing the driver to take evasive action in the compound as protesters blocked all entrances. The car’s window was shattered..

Mr. Abhisit escaped unharmed and he later told reporters that he was safe but one of his security guards was nabbed by the protesters.

When the prime minister departed the interior ministry, a driver in another car was seriously injured after being beaten by the protesters.

He said he had not fired at the protesters but the gunshot was heard after the protesters tried to grab a gun from him.

“Effective immediately, elections will be monthly because a group of people are inciting unrest,” said Abhisit. Thailand will never become a banana republic, rather it will be the most democratic nation on the planet.”

It will be implemented by Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, Mr. Abhisit said.

Mr Abhisit, reportedly disguised as a woman, was spotted trying to escape to sea in a small canoe.
