The remains of the Kung Fu star is being transported to the states on a United Airlines flight that left Bangkok at 6:50 a.m. Saturday, per Thai press reports. Following an autopsy in Bangkok on Friday, Carradine's body was released into U.S. Embassy custody to be flown home.
Meanwhile, Carradine's comanager, Tiffany Smith, told CNN that a second autopsy will be conducted in the United States at the urging of his family. "They're doing everything possible to get to the bottom of what really happened." The results of the procedure performed overseas are not expected for at least three weeks.
Carradine's family and friends have vehemently refuted the initial Thai police theory that the actor committed suicide, continuing to believe that foul play may have been involved. Now they have made a formal request for FBI assistance.
