RIP Grasshopper
One of my childhood heroes gone...
BANGKOK – Actor David Carradine, star of the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu" who also had a wide-ranging career in the movies, has been found dead in the Thai capital, Bangkok. A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, Michael Turner, confirmed the death of the 72-year-old actor. He says Carradine died either late Wednesday or early Thursday, but he could not provide further details out of consideration for his family. The Web site of the newspaper The Nation cited unidentified police sources as saying Carradine was found Thursday hanged in his luxury hotel room and is believed to have committed suicide. Carradine was a leading member of a venerable Hollywood acting family that included his father, character actor John Carradine, and brother Keith.

Just saw this on the news. Sorry to see him go and enjoyed his work.
Was wondering if there would ever be a "Kill Bill 4" but guess not now... RIP

Semper drive!

It would seem Grasshopper has snatched another pebble from the hand of Master Po. Time for him to leave.
 RIP Mr. Carradine! Randy

Stijn's thread says he hung himself.
Too bad, he was enjoying a resurgence of sorts.

maybe it was one of those bankok hanging wicker sex slings that just went horribly wrong? you'd think the mamasan there to assist could have cut him loose.

In Bangkok of all places, where a single guy can have soooo much fun. Why would anyone kill themselves there?

canna change law physics

It says he was found in the strings for controlling the curtain. Not exactly the way to commit suicide. Also, he was shooting a movie. I've never heard of an actor out on location killing themself.
Something seems fishy, and it in't that other htread!

He was a hard man, but he made the mistake of spending that one night there...
