Actor David Carradine found dead in Bangkok


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.

RIP

I guess he died from auto-erotic asphyxiation

BBC's original article said he was found with a "rope around his neck and genetalia." They have since changed it to say "rope around his neck and body"

Really? A rope around his genetalia? If there is truth to that, i am sure it will come out in the news

I guess he wont be coming to the NYC comic conventions anymore. That is where i used to see him

God Rest His Soul

Time to break out my old copy of The Silent Flute.



Little coincidence: The Silent Flutewas written by Sterling Silliphant, a good friend of Bruce Lee who initiated the project. Silliphant also died in Bangkok.

Details of the movie's history here.
