Cast
Release Natural Causes was shown at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on March 5, 1994. It was released direct-to-video in the United States by Columbia TriStar Home Video on November 7, 1995.
Reception Critical response Emanuel Levy, of Variety states in his review: "Set in Bangkok, Natural Causes is a messy, incoherent political thriller about a young American woman who finds herself in the midst of a plot to assassinate former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Pic makes good use of Bangkok's colorful scenery, but its roguish, muddled plot and maladroit, uninvolving direction should take it straight to video domestically, with some possibilities for theatrical release offshore."
