Medical Examiner Report Details Robert Carradine's Final Days

Details surrounding Robert Carradine's passing have emerged through a newly released medical examiner's report, shedding light on the actor's final days.

Carradine died in February following a suicide. According to the report, his daughter told investigators that he had battled mental illness for approximately two decades and carried a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. She also noted that he struggled with severe depression and anxiety, and was managing his conditions with multiple medications.

The medical examiner's findings indicate that Carradine had admitted himself to a psychiatric hospital in Los Angeles, where he had previously sought treatment for ongoing suicidal thoughts. While at the facility, an employee entered his room to inform him that his daughter was calling. At that time, he was discovered hanging and unresponsive.

Upon discovery, Carradine was in cardiac arrest. No suicide note was recovered at the scene. Medical staff initiated resuscitation efforts and transported him to an intensive care unit, where he remained until his death on February 23rd.

The manner of death was determined to be suicide, with the official cause listed as "sequelae of anoxic brain injury from hanging."
