Wow, I didn’t see this one coming. Very sad news. Actor David Carradine the star of the 1970’s TV series ‘Kung Fu’ and a countless other movies, including Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Kill Bill’ has been found dead in the Thai capital of Bangkok. News reports are coming in saying: that the actor was found hanging dead in his hotel room, and that it was most likely suicide.

David Carradine was 72 years old. The U.S. embassy was informed by Thai authorities that he died either late Wednesday or early Thursday. No other details are being released at this time.

This guy was a great and talented actor. I hate when stuff like this happens. Our hearts and prayers go out to his friends and family.

    Sounds suspicious to me.
    Hanging in the midst of making a movie? These "Stars" have far more going in their favor in life than most people (Money -wise, and opportunities) ……you'd think they embreace the blessing they were given. (Heath Ledger another one)
    He must have had some personal demons he couldnt shake……suicide is a cowards death though. He has done so much and could have helped alot of people……..nonetheless may his soul be at rest now from whatever plagued him. (Still sounds suspicious though)
    As a Move affecionado though – Thanks for the Movie Memories ! (The grasshoppers sound will be no more)

    Gotta love that "SHARE AND ENJOY" at the end of an article about a man's death.

    He was a great actor, this is a shame. I absolutely loved the movie big stan, and he was a big reason why. R.I.P Mr. Carradine.

    Absolutely shocking…I didn't see it coming, either.

    Kind of threw a bit of a knot into finishing the season premiere of Dexter, too, I'm sure…even if it was only a moment of silence for their (former) co-star's brother.
