Necromagus Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2009/06 ... 104421.php David Carradine found dead in Bangkok Kung Fu and Kill Bill star David Carradine was found hung in a hotel room in Bangkok on Wednesday, Thai police said. "Kung Fu" and "Kill Bill" star David Carradine was found hung himself in a closet in a hotel room in Bangkok on Wednesday, Thai police said. Police believed he committed suicide. Carradine, 72, was in Bangkok to shoot a movie and stayed at a Suite Room 352 of the Park Nai Lert Hotel on Wireless Road since June 2. The film crew were aware of his absence when they went to dine out at a restaurant on Sathorn Road on June 3. Carradine did not show up at the dinner and the team could not reach him. They assumed that he took a rest because of his age. It was a hotel's maid who opened his suite on Thursday at 10 am only to find Carradine in a closet. He was described as behind half naked. Police investigation showed that he hung himself with a rope, the kind that is used with curtains. Police said he was dead for not less than 12 hours and found no sign of fighting and assaults. Kung Fu Man Aside from Quentin Tarantino's twopart "Kill Bill" in 200304, Carradine was perhaps best known for his role as the fugitive halfChinese Shaolin monk Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s easternwestern TV drama "Kung Fu". He also starred in Martin Scorsese's "Boxcar Bertha" in 1972, portrayed folksinger Woody Guthrie in "Bound for Glory" in 1976, acted in Ingmar Bergman's "The Serpent's Egg" in 1977 and costarred with half brothers Keith Carradine and Robert Carradine in the 1980 western "The Long Riders". His father was the noted actor John Carradine. In Thai cinemas, Carradine was recently seen as a martialarts guru in the Rob Schneider comedy "Big Stan" and as a perverted elderly Chinese mobster in "Crank: High Voltage" starring Jason Statham.

1_man_army Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I just saw this on the news 5 minutes ago. The way he was found sounds very suspicious to me.

indy500fan Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Nooo, not Frankenstein :( . EDIT: I heard about this on the way home from work (half-day :D ) and they mentioned "David Carradine most famously known for the TV series Kung Fu". When I heard his name I was like "aw crap, not Frankenstein!" but then they didn't mention it or Kill Bill, the only two things I knew him for. So when I heard Kung Fu I was wondering if I had the right name. Then I saw the topic on Fark and they mentioned Kung Fu, but also Kill Bill. Then this topic mentioned them two, and the one on Digg also. So the point was apparently everyone knows him for Kung Fu, and I never even heard of it before.

That contradicts the very meaning of the word. And yet, it's the only phrase I've heard when someone kills themself as the result of an accident.

xSxqPowerx Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Sounds like it could have been auto-erotic asphyxiation, which would be an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Ah, now this is sad. I used to watch the series "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues" with my dad for a while. RIP :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Damn...hanging yourself by your genitals...that sounded painful to me at first. But then I realized Bill has finally been killed. Though there sure is something weird about an old guy like him commiting suicide. I also wonder what will happen to the movie...will it continue filming with someone else, or do they need to completely redo everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
