David Carradine’s family fear he was murdered to silence his investigation into deadly underground martial arts organisations. The actor was found hanging in a hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand on June, 04, at the age of 72.

His family is waiting for the official cause of death – but they refuse to acknowledge he may have committed suicide or died taking part in a dangerous sex game. Instead they want the FBI to probe the possibility he was killed by assassins.

During an appearance on Larry King’s talk show on Jun 05 lawyer Mark Geragos revealed Carradine was investigating secret kung fu societies, whose members had the motive and means to kill him.

When the topic was raised by a panelist on the show, Geragos responded, “Absolutely. What that means is connected to martial arts and his interest in martial arts. So there is a suspicion of foul play. That may be the first area where they should look.”

Stunned and shaken, Roger Federer stood on center court during the French Open final wondering if the intruder who had just run up to him posed a threat. Luckily, he wasn’t, and the Swiss star went on to win the French Open and match Pete Sampras’ career record of 14 major titles.

“All of a sudden I heard the crowd, and I looked over and he jumped over the fence or something,” said Federer, who beat Robin Soderling of Sweden 6-1, 7-6 (1), 6-4 Sunday to complete a career Grand Slam with his first championship at Roland Garros. “That gave me a fright, just, like, seeing him so close right away.”

The on-court intruder leaped into the area of play early in the second set. Federer pushed the intruder aside. He was carried off the court by three security guards. Police later said the man was jailed for questioning and could be charged with illegally entering a sports stadium. Police said the man claimed to be a fan of Federer.
