I actually saw him in person, at my mechanics maserati dealership, he had bought a 1980 Maserati Quatroporte series II.
The man was barely able to walk, smoked and everything. Cool that I was able to see him there.Leave a comment:

Rumor mill is not so sure it was suicide, but a possible auto-erotic asphyxiation accident.
He wasn't found hanging, but with the cord of the room's curtains around his neck...Leave a comment:

Sad indeed. He would have been WAY down my list of suspected suicides.
I wonder if it was a rational reaction to some horrible health problem or untreated depression?Leave a comment:

David "Kung Fu/Kill Bill" Carradine dead
Sad...he'd been working steady with 13 completed films and one in pre-production just in the last year.
Rather sad quote:
It's always seemed to me like a mission. A holy one, like the Blues Brothers. It's a marathon. You can't quit; even coming in dead last has honor. Quitting doesn't. Look, I had absolute faith in my future when I was starving in New York and no one believed in me besides me and my girlfriend. I'd be stupid to lose that faith after I've become a ____ icon. Oh, yes. And I love the work.

Actor David Carradine found dead in Bangkok
(06-04) 07:22 PDT BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) --
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 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 and is believed to have committed suicide.
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."Last edited by Dr Mordrid; 4 June 2009, 07:48.
