Actor David Carradine found dead in Bangkok

Quote:

in his hotel room and was believed to have committed suicide.
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, Michael Turner, confirmed the death of the 72-year-old actor. He said 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 Thai 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.
In all, he appeared in more than 100 feature films with such directors as Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby.
But he was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin priest traveling the 1800s American frontier West in the TV series "Kung Fu," which aired in 1972-75.
He reprised the role in a mid-1980s TV movie and played Caine's grandson in the 1990s syndicated series "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues."
He returned to the top in recent years as the title character in Quentin Tarantino's two-part saga "Kill Bill."

R.I.P

RIP. Wow. That sucks.

Just heard on the radio. That's terrible news. He was a very unique actor in my opinion. His talents will be missed.

someone better make a Kill Bill joke soon or i'll have to

Rumours are it was auto-erotic asphyxiation gone wrong. I read that BBC's original report had it saying the rope was around his neck and genitalia; they've since changed it. Not sure if it's true or not, though.

they changed it to Neck and other body parts

so yeah he probably had some thai surprise and they probably just tied him up and took his stuff and he died

RIP David Carradine

Damn, I gotta go to off-topic more. Funny it didn't show up when I did a search earlier.

Mods, please delete this thread since there's one if off-topic.

It's not your fault someone posted in the wrong forum. I merged the threads.

David Carradine was killed.

If you pull the 5 point exploding heart technique properly, it can easily fool authorities to make it look like the death was natural.
