David Carradine’s manager has confirmed to Fox News that the 73 year-old Kung Fu actor has died.
Carradine was in Bangkok filming a movie. When he didn’t arrive at a scheduled dinner, a producer went to his room where the actor was found dead. Though not confirmed, it is believed he died of natural causes.
UPDATE: Some media outlets are reporting that the cause of death was suicide.
Thoughts and prayers to the entire Carradine family.
Manager said natural causes.
No! Say it ain’t so!
No, he didnt commit suicide, he was “suicided”, just like MARILYN MONROE. Another Hollywood victim… R.I.P. David…
According to the Telegraph, he was found with rope around his neck & genitals. Other sources just say neck & body. But GAH, that just gives me goosebumps….I can’ t BELIEVE THIS

Similar to Michael Hutchence of INXS maybe? Accidental suicide, just trying to get off. Either way, sucks. RIP now.
He wasn’t the most normal of people… kinda off actually, but regardless- SAD! :(
RIP David =(
So sad- but you dont just commit suicide at 73… and he must have been in good health with all that martial arts training, especially to keep making movies. I sense foul play… Bangkok gangsters??

Actually many elderly people commit suicide. According to the NSSP, “the highest suicide rates of any age group occur among persons aged 65 years and older.” It is sad, but relatively common.

RIP David, you will be missed.
oh my god, is he the “Bill” of – Kill Bill – ???
so sad.. hope it was natural causes……
he was in a middle of a filming!!!!!! wow, so sad
could bill have been killed?
When they shot the “new” Kung Fu series in Toronto he was in dark period of his life where he was a horrible drunk. They would have to hold him for his close-ups because he was so pissed drunk he couldn’t sit on his own. They actually had to plan the schedule so that he wouldn’t wonder off to a bar and get drunk during the middle of the shoot day.
Got that info from some of the technicians that worked on the show.
A very sad and very embarrassing way to go.
RIP.
That is so sad. I loved Kill bill and remember watching reruns of the original Kung Fu as a child.
Definitely a loss to us all.
Well, at least he didn’t five-point-palm-exploding-heart-technique himself.
so inappropriate, yet so funny. we are going to hell…
agreed, but maybe he’ll be there too… he was was married five times.
grasshopper!
He had snatched the pebble from the master’s hand, so it was time for him to go.
Very nice.
I truly enjoyed his acting ability in many of the shows he starred in. He will be missed.
He was in an episode of “Lizzie McGuire” I think…that’s pretty awesome…RIP.
CNN is reporting that he was found hanging by a rope from his hotel room curtain
OMG, RIP Kwai Chang Caine! It’s so strange cause I just saw him in Lone Wolf McQuade and was reading about him and his half-bro Keith about 2 wks ago…
he only got that part (that bruce lee auditioned for) because there was still ardent racism at the time. So basically, they hired this white man to play an asian instead of bruce lee.. fun fact, huh
RIP
he was a great actor and amazing at martial arts
From the news:
“Police have questioned members of the film production crew, who told them the actor “drank beer from morning until evening the day before he was found dead,” Worapong said.”
Basically he got pissed drunk and died masturbating.
