David Carradine's family has asked the FBI to investigate the actor's death, as his family does not believe he took his own life.

Mark Garagos, an attorney for David's brother Keith Carradine, spoke on CNN's Larry King Live Friday night to disperse reports that the Thai newspaper 'The Nation' is spreading; that the actor committed suicide in his hotel room.

The Carridines -- along with the actor's co-manager, Tiffany Smith -- are refuting those reports.

"The cause of death is still under investigation in Bangkok," Smith told Us Thursday. "All I can tell you is that David did not commit suicide. I can tell you that 100 percent. He would never commit suicide."

Carradine's family is desperate to get answers about what happened.
Garagos told Larry King:

They want an investigation," Geragos said. "I would think that the people in Bangkok would want to support an investigation and allow the FBI to go over there and assist in the investigation so we can get the answers to the questions."

So far, the Thai police have not been contacted by the FBI.
David Carradine did undergo an autopsy on Friday in Bangkok, but the results are not expected for three weeks.
The actor's body was flown from Bangkok to Los Angeles this morning.

I can not blame them, after the news coverage it received and the lack of a proper investigation before releasing any details. I would have my doubts as well.
