A pervert accidentally killed himself in the act of being a sicko. The only tragedy is that he didn't get proper psychological help to deal with his deviant perversion. Probably because there are too many people in this world pretending that being a sexual deviant is perfectly OK.
Is Carradine's sexual preferences anyone's business other than his death mode? No. Once upon a time, anything other than the missionary position was considered deviant. Judge not, less you be...... says some religious book.

BTW, Bruce Lee was on the short list to be Caine in the series. He would have been an ideal character for the role. Plus, he "kinda" knew martial arts. Carrradine was equivalent to Lee Majors in the Bionic Man TV series - slo-mo to mask his lack of skill. In this case, martial arts. The Hollywood suits were once again afraid of casting a minority in a lead role; instead, falling back to white actor in slant-eyed makeup mode. For its time, reviewers say the show was risky. I never thought so. It was safe.
