QUOTE Kung Fu and Kill Bill star David Carradine was found hung in a hotel room in Bangkok on Wednesday, Thai police said. Police believed he committed suicide.
Carradine, 73, was in Bangkok to shoot a movie and stayed at a Suite Room 352 of Park Nai Lert Hotel on Wireless Road since June 2. The film crew went to have a meal at a restaurant on Sathorn road on June 3, but Carradine ws absent. The team tried to contact him but to no avail. They assumed that he needed a rest because of his age. A maid of the hotel opened his suite on Thursday at 10am only to find Carradine hung himself in a closet in his room. He was described as half naked. Police investigation showed that he hung himself with a rope which was used with curtains. Police said he was dead for not less than 12 hours and found no signs of fightings and assaults. |

What a terrible loss, and what a sad way for it to end. He must have been under tremendous stress.
He was definitely up there with people who influenced my childhood. I have had a lifelong interest in martial arts and it all began with him and old Bruce. |

I loved his acting. Wonder what led him to do something like that. So very very sad.

What a sad day. I have had the pleasure of working with him. A fun loving and talented guy. Very sad, in deed. So sorry for his friends and family.
As one poster already stated, "RIP , grasshopper." |

I can see why he perhaps considered himself a failure, but the love that a lot of us had for him proves that he wasn't. RIP

QUOTE (Ulysses G. @ 2009-06-04 20:19:42) I can see why he perhaps considered himself a failure, but the love that a lot of us had for him proves that he wasn't. RIP Why would he consider himself a failure? In what way? (That isnt meant to sound hostile, i am sincere. I admired him, and feel sad about it). Career-wise he was very successful recently with Kill Bill, and according to wiki he was only just married for a few years from 2004. Of course, that doesnt really mean anything. Only those close to him may know what would cause him to feel so distressed. ..but, out of respect, I guess we shouldnt really discuss this in detail on this thread. Hopefully some considerate tactful report in the paper later will help us to understand why better. |

With older people the usual cause would be severe depression, serious disease, or a combination. Probably a different dynamic than with adolescents where really trivial seeming social problems can trigger it.

Just checked imdb.com and there is nothing on there about it yet, if it's true.
