http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/as_thailand_david_carradine For those who are familiar with the old Kung Fu tv series. I also found out that Shek Kin (Han from Enter the Dragon) just passed away at 96.
All the kids in my neighborhood would watch it every week and then go outside and play "Kung Fu". RIP
Thats sad. I hope it wasn't a murder. He was a kick ass actor, and i doubt he had a freaky nature in his personal life, but who knows.
That man was perfect in Kill Bill. So sad, the way he died sounds awful, what a shame he was found in such a way.
Circumstances are a bit strange... A sad loss anyway. I love his brother, Robert, as Lewis Scholnick in Revenge of the Nerds :mrgreen:
May he rest in peace though I did have an issue with him for the comments he made against the Late Bruce Lee for whom created the role and story of "Kung Fu" as a television series that Mr. Lee was suppose to play the lead role instead, it went to David Carradine. Bruce Lee did not get the role for his own idea because he was "too chinese". Carradine got the role because, Hollywood executives felt a white man would be more acceptable to the american public as a chinese. You figure.
I read that the investigators think it was accidental suicide. It looks like he was doing that "choking while busting a nut" shit. He ain't the first victim of this shit. I thought only kids n' shit did it. I guess by choking yourself while cumming makes the orgasm hella better. I forgot the technical name. Auto asphyxiation or something.
His body has been brought back to the US. His family is demanding the FBI to find out what really happened. There are suggestions that this could have been foul play. The Thai officials and press could be covering up some facts to save face. There are some cutthroats over there.
