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 news report said he was found hanged 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 the embassy was informed by Thai authorities that Carradine died either late Wednesday or early Thursday, but he could not provide further details out of consideration for his family

This sucks. I wasn't a fan of the Kill Bill movies (too much gore for my tastes), but I loved his old Kung Fu series and use his Tai Chi instructional videos on a daily basis. I wonder what may have prompted him to commit suicide.

That's weird as hell. His only work I've seen is Bill, and he did a damn good job there.

Yeah, I was driving home from school and heard this on the radio, started yelling. David Carradine was a crazy badass man, Death Race 2000 was the bomb. I really really liked that guy, don't know what to say but I'm depressed and hell.

for a second i thought you wrote caruso and thought who the fuck cares

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

Wait. So this article claims he was naked and the hanging was "accidental." Auto-erotic asphyxiation?

I read he was currently filming a new movie - will they hire three other actors to do the rest of the scenes now?

Man, I loved Kung Fu: The Legend Continues as a kid, so when I heard about this news yesterday it was pretty saddening. This guy was awesome.

RIP David.

wow this is depressing

did he have any major movie parts since Kill Bill, by the way? I'm curious about what this movie was

I know Tarantino is famous for restoring people's careers after they're in one of his movies

Don't really know much about this guy but saw this on CNN

http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/06/05/carradine.death/index.html

They're saying it probably wasn't a suicide and are looking into the possibility of foul play
