In the midst of the tumultuous investigation surrounding his death, David Carradine has been laid to rest in Los Angeles.
Private funeral services took place Saturday afternoon for the Kill Bill star, with more than 400 mourners turning out at the Forest Lawn cemetery to pay their respects.
Several celebrity friends attended the memorial service, including Kill Bill costars Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah and Michael Madsen, as well as Tom Selleck, Jane Seymour, Edward James Olmos, Ali Larter, Frances Fisher, James Cromwell and Rob Schneider, who arrived clutching an ornate flower arrangement.
Some mourners wore Western garb in honor of Carradine's Kung Fu legacy—brother Keith Carradine, sporting a bolo tie, briefly greeted attendees outside before the service.
The body of the 72-year-old David Carradine was found June 4 hanging naked in a hotel room in Bangkok. Despite initial speculation that Carradine's death was a suicide, the Carradine family's forensics expert, Michael Baden, announced Thursday that the actor did not take his own life.
"The autopsy findings and the evidence thus far available demonstrate that Mr. Carradine's death was not the result of suicide," Baden said in a video statement. Baden did not address the theory that the actor may have died while performing autoerotic asphyxiation.
The family of the late actor has asked for privacy as they continue to grieve.
Thai officials, with aid from U.S. experts, are continuing to investigate Carradine's death.
