“Kung Fu” star David Carradine has been found dead in a Bangkok hotel room, his manager told FOX News. While the cause of death has yet to be determined, a Thai newspaper claims the actor died in an apparent suicide. Chuck Binder, Carradine's manager, told FOXNews.com Thursday that the actor, 72, was staying in the Thai capital while shooting a movie. When a producer went to his luxury hotel room, he discovered that the actor had died. Actor David Carradine Dead at 72******************************************* Sad very sad. I saw him at Dragon*con a couple of years ago. A bit of an odd duck but he seemed nice enough.

I met him at DragonCon a few years ago and drove him to a morning radio interview. We spent most of the time there and back talking about old blues music, of which he was a huge fan. Interesting guy, but definately way, way out there.

It went from suicide to suffocation. That was when it dawned on me.

The guy was in a city named "Bangkok", with a reputation that you can get anything there.......
how sad, especially at 73 to have everyone know you were doing "that"

I never watched Kung Fu, I never watched Kill Bill. Tell me, if he was sooooooooo famous and important, why couldn't he just hire a female? This is so sick that it is better left unsaid. This part of American life is distasteful to say the least. How can a person, who thinks he can act, be able to interest us? Sorry, I really don't care to hear anymore about the sorry SOB.

How nice that everyone has automatically jumped to the conclusion that he hung himself accidentally due to auto-erotic asphyxiation because that's what the news has reported the Thailand police have said the he might have died from that. According to the NY Times, his family "has asked the F.B.I. and Dr. Michael Baden, a private forensics expert, to help investigate Mr. Carradine’s death". www.nytimes.com/2009/06/08/arts/08arts-002.htmlWhile this is a fairly logical assumption in this day and age (especially considering that he really was way the fuck out there), I think that it is rather asinine for everyone to jump to that conclusion automatically.

I'll have more sympathy for him if he died of auto-erotic asphyxiation, than I will if he committed suicide.

I think Ringleman could have shown him a good time. Well, I do'nt know about that and all. Despite any supposed photographic evidence or cross dressed sightings to the contrary, my heterosexual credentials are pretty firmly established. On the other hand though, it was David Kungfu Carradine after all. I might have done him just for the bragging rights.

You don't care but you are taking the time to read about it and then give your opinion. In that case who is really Sad/pathetic ? DC or you ? At least when he died people are discussing it. When you go...Not so much.

His last ex-wife is writing a book. She said he was there filming a movie. She also said that one reason they got divorced was his strange sex habits.
