Actor David Carradine Dead at 73
Thursday, June 04, 2009

"Kung Fu" and "Kill Bill" star David Carradine was found hung in a closet in a hotel room in Bangkok on Wednesday, Thai police said.

Police believed he committed suicide.

Carradine, 72, was in Bangkok to shoot a movie and stayed at a Suite Room 352 of the Park Nai Lert Hotel on Wireless Road since June 2.

The film crew were aware of his absence when they went to dine out at a restaurant on Sathorn Road on June 3.

Carradine did not show up at the dinner and the team could not reach him. They assumed that he took a rest because of his age.

It was a hotel's maid who opened his suite on Thursday at 10 am only to find Carradine in a closet. He was described as being half naked.

Police investigation showed that he hung himself with a rope, the kind that is used with curtains.

Police said he was dead for not less than 12 hours and found no sign of fighting and assault.

Damn

The final battle of Kill Bill 2 is one of my favourites ever. It was like a western duel, extremely quick and decisive.

accidental by autoerotic asphyxiation it seems. One of the UK papers noted he had rope around his "neck and genitals".

So, Hutchence'd.

I will watch Kill Bill this weekend in his honor.

an excerpt i found wowsers.

Police initially suspected suicide but now believe he may have died from accidental suffocation after finding a rope tied to his neck and genitals.

Celebrity blogs and social networking Web sites were abuzz with news of Carradine's death, which was one of the most popular topics Friday on Twitter, along with the Air France crash.

The circumstances of his death have set gossipmongers working overtime, speculating that the 72-year-old actor may have been engaged in a dangerous form of sex play known as auto-erotic asphyxiation.

The practice involves temporarily cutting off the supply of oxygen to the brain to heighten the effects of a sexual climax.

What's really sad is that hookers are so cheap in Thailand. He really didn't have to die alone...
