The family of Kill Bill star David Carradine has said it is "profoundly disturbed" after images of the actor's body were printed in a Thai newspaper.

The leaked pictures, which Thai police said are probably forensic photos, reportedly show the actor's body in the Thai hotel room where he died.

His half-brother, actor Keith Carradine, threatened legal action against any "invasions of privacy".

He has also called on the FBI to intervene in the investigation.
