Mourners, including friends, family and former co-stars, turned out to attend the funeral of actor David Carradine in Los Angeles. The service, attended by more than 400 people Saturday evening, was held indoors at the Hall of Liberty at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, the cemetery adjacent to Griffith Park.

The funeral lasted for more than two hours.

Among the guests were Michael Madsen, Jane Seymour, Tom Selleck, Frances Fisher, Daryl Hannah, Lucy Liu, Ali Larter, Edward James Olmos, Rob Schneider and James Cromwell. His family were not visible to the media and his burial was private. Security guards made sure only invited guests entered the service. The investigation into the cause of Carradine's death is ongoing.

A private pathologist ruled out suicide as a cause. Last week, Carradine, 72, was found dead in a Bangkok hotel room, hanging naked in a closet with ropes tied around his wrists, neck and genitals. The circumstances suggested he might have died as a result of a dangerous sex game, Pornthip Rojanasunand, a prominent Thai forensic pathologist, said last week. Carradine appeared in more than 100 films, but was best known early in his career for his role as Kwai Chang Caine in the TV series Kung Fu, which aired from 1972-75.
