David Carradine, 73, has been found dead in his Bangkok hotel room. The actor, who was in Thailand to film a movie, will be best remembered for his roles as Kwai Chang Caine in “Kung Fu” and the titular character in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill films, but my favorite Carradine project is probably Death Race 2000. It was CARmageddon!
His agent confirmed his death this morning, saying the actor had been in great spirits. He said he believed Carradine died of natural causes [...]
Over the years, he appeared in over 200 motion pictures and television dramas, and numerous plays. He was also a producer, director, writer, and composer for the screen as well. [ABC]
Bummer. Carradine was one of those actors that seemed to just get better and cooler as he got older. But he died the way I want to die: in a Bangkok hotel room. Of course, my ideal death involves premium black tar heroin and at least two Thai hookers, but sure, natural causes is okay. I guess.

You chose well on the remembrance clip. Let’s hope the Academy does the same.
But Matt, those items you want are natural causes in Bangkok. So really, he did die that way. Or, so I choose to believe.
I will always remember him for teaching me how to use Yellowbook dot com.
David Carradine’s “natural causes” of course include Thai hookers and heroin. It’s as natural as Warming Glow’s Editor ODing on Busch Lite and Papa John’s. Or at least I think so. Haven’t seen him in a few years.
Without going into wild speculation, I heard it was suicide.
Does a self-inflicted Five Finger Death Punch count as “natural causes”?
Word on the street is he had rope around his neck and his junk. Seriously.
So sad. I am watching ‘Circle of Iron’ tonight.
Bill killed.
Reports I’ve read say he hanged himself — not sure about hanging his junk too, but you can’t exclude any possibilities when you’re talking about dying in a Bangkok hotel room.
Iamsofaking: So sad. I am watching ‘Circle of Iron’ tonight.
Good call. I totally forgot about that movie. Maybe it will be a David Carradine Movie Marathon Weekend.
He wasn’t too careful with his company
ABC says that he hanged himself. I hope it’s not true.

And by “hanged” of course i mean hung. Shoot me.
Can we all focus on the important question here:
did he jizz?
Even the highest quality black tar is pretty low grade. What you want is china white.
I’m leaning toward the “Assassination by a secret Kung Fu Sect” theory as the most plausible explanation for Carradine’s death
