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.
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.
So this great actor, who was in the middle of a movie shoot, allegedly hung himself. Something smells fishy to me, but regardless of the circumstances, it saddening to see such an influential man die.
R.I.P
David Carradine dead at 72

I wonder what was so bad in his life that it drove him to suicide? Especially at his age? Guess we'll never know....
RIP David Carradine

I remember growing up and watching Kung Fu. And I remember Kung Fu the Legend Continues. Brings back memories of my childhood. Sad to see him go.

Just read that it wasn't suicide it was an accidental death via auto-erotic asphyxiation.

Just like the guy from INXS! people and their weird habits. I don't understand how nearly killing yourself is supposed to be pleasurable.
please don't respond to this rhetorical question I know the theory I just think it is stupid

via auto-erotic asphyxiation? Um people can copy that you know and make it look like they died from it. So I am say it murder until they say it officially that he died that way.
None the less Rip David Carradine

I did this when I heard ------>
There were zero signs of foul play/forced entry/struggle.
Not that murder can be discounted all together, I'm just saying that .... erm well nevermind.
..May his soul rest in peace.. (-/\-)

He was in Bangkok, probably got himself mixed with those (pardon my language) hookers. Then the sex games got him killed, he's 72, the heart doesn't work that well.
Murder is definitely out of the question, if it was a friend, there would be signs of struggle around the scene even if there was no forced entry.

I know but the Hookers could have killed him DURING THE ACT before he got to have a struggle. I am not use to talking about stuff like this.

LOLWUT.
When somebody is in the midst of being murdered, I think there would be signs of struggle.

He died in Thailand, and I wouldn't trust what their sham of a police force says. He could of easily been murdered.

The idea for this most likely came from subjects who were executed by hanging.
Hanging.
HANGING.

Not exactly, but never trust Thailand police I agree with Mike they don't have the best police force out their. They could have batched the investigation.

Unless he was shot in the back of the head, a murder always shows signs of struggle.
Ever watch CSI? Or news reports on murder scenes?
Whatever.
Hard to believe he won't be back in the future for movies. I enjoyed Kill Bill.

Yes I have watched Csi and other investigation show. They could have been behind him and straggled him before he got to act in his deviance.
