David Carradine was found dead in a Bangkok hotel. He was filming a movie in Thailand and officials report he was found hanging from a rope, presumably from the curtains. His agent is reporting he died of natural causes. I think a hooker or a gang pimping the hooker probably hanged him. He was 72. Looks like he will not appear in Kill Bill 3 or 4 that Tarantino and Thurman are planning. If they wanted Bill in any capacity, they will have to do one of those anime scenes.

Oh, no, dear…It is so much better than that. According to the BBC he was found not only with a rope around his neck but also his weiner. He was dead for around 12 hours before he was found.
Steve said he blew one of his balls off several years ago in a freak accident on a movie set. He stuck a gun filled with blanks in his pants and it went off.
Leave it to Steve to know the ball count.

Personally, I think he was jerkin the gerkin and he stroked out.

Actor David Carradine found dead in Bangkok - AP
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.
It said Carradine was in Bangkok to shoot a movie and had been staying at the hotel since Tuesday.
The newspaper said Carradine could not be contacted after he failed to appear for a meal with the rest of the film crew on Wednesday, and that his body was found by a hotel maid at 10 a.m. Thursday morning. The name of the movie was not immediately available.
It said a preliminary police investigation found that he had hanged himself with a cord used with the room’s curtains. It cited police as saying he had been dead at least 12 hours and there was no sign that he had been assaulted.
A police officer at Bangkok’s Lumpini precinct station would not confirm the identity of the dead man to The Associated Press, but said the luxury Swissotel Nai Lert Park hotel had reported that a male guest killed himself there.
Carradine was a leading member of a venerable Hollywood acting family that included his father, character actor John Carradine, and brother Keith.
In all, he appeared in more than 100 feature films with such directors as Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby.
But he was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin priest traveling the 1800s American frontier West in the TV series “Kung Fu,” which aired in 1972-75.
He reprised the role in a mid-1980s TV movie and played Caine’s grandson in the 1990s syndicated series “Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.”
He returned to the top in recent years as the title character in Quentin Tarantino’s two-part saga “Kill Bill.”

When I was a boy me and my brothers would watch Kung Fu all the time. I loved that show. Probably not very good now. RIP David.

Here is a very tiny photo of SUPPOSED Carradine hanging in a closet from a Thai news. His hair has been recently browned for a role he was playing there. I’m trying to find a bigger one. His family is very upset about the photo. Okay, I did find a bigger picture, but not sure if I should post it here or not….??

This is the one people were questioning if it was him, but he was doing a film and had his hair darkened. Some people say they see fishnets on him, but I just think it is the blood in his body rushing downwards that is making his legs look purple. Carradine was a freakster, but I don’t think he was into cross dressing.
