David Carradine has been found dead: 1936 – 2009. RIP.
Carradine was best known for the 1970s television series Kung Fu and later for being the title villain of the Kill Bill movies. The 72-year-old actor was found dead in the Swissotel Nai Lert Park in Bangkok and is rumoured to have committed suicide by hanging himself with a drapery cord. TMZ suggest this may have been a long-time coming.
Carradine was married 5 times and divorced 4 and is survived by his widow Annie Bierman and his two daughters Calista Miranda and Kansas. Carradine was also part of the famed Hollywood acting family that included his father, John Carradine, and brother Keith. You can read more about David Carradine at his Wikipedia page.
My condolences go out to the Carradine family over this shocking news.

I was shocked, wife just pointed out the news item. I always enjoyed David’s work and grew up watching Kung Fu, last item I saw about him was he is to appear on next episode of Mental.
Then this, what a shame and thinking about his family.
It was so sudden and now his rep is working over-time denying the suicide. We shall see…
I first heard about his death this morning from Whoopi on The View. There was a collective gasp from the audience because obvs they hadn’t heard the news yet. It makes me sad that people are already making jokes. Idk if that’s some people’s way of trying to deal with death but it’s way too soon and disrespectful.
I feel for his family. He had alot of fans, myself included. He was in the middle of filming a movie so I doubt that he commited suicide but obvs something went wrong.
I agree people that ever tell jokes about/ speak ill of the dead need to stop off and cut it out. I made my post lol-free. It’s not that damn hard
SO sad!
Agreed Firecracker, when I first read this on Agent Bedhead I thought there was some terrible mistake. But alas, not
i wasj ust watching kill bill las weekend. seems like everytime i someone dies, i’ve watched something of their recently. lol
seriously, my condolennes and well wishes go out ot his family.
Please turn off your DVD player then! This is no joke, too sad
