David Carradine found dead in his Bangkok hotel room. I hope no trannies were involved. This will be a blow to my memory of the Kung Fu series. Loved that show.


From AP:
U.S. actor David Carradine, best known for his roles in the 1970s TV series 'Kung Fu' and the Kill Bill movies, has been found dead in the Thai capital Bangkok.

A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, Michael Turner, confirmed the death of the 72-year-lead actor. He said Carradine died either later Wednesday or early Thursday, but he could not reveal further details out of consideration for his family.

The Web site of the newspaper The Nation, citing unnamed police sources, said Carradine was found Thursday hanged in his luxury hotel room, and is believed to have committed suicide.

Ohh, fuckin' A! Now I gotta re-cast for the part of "B" in XPT:The Movie!

i bet he died of INXS disease

This is a bad omen.

Hmmmmmmmm. Bangkok. I'll bet a whore or two were involved and caused his 71 yo ass to go into cardiac arrest.

Auto-erotic asphyxiation ? It's for this very reason I try to keep my wanking procedures from including ropes, burning candles, incense, shears or any potentially hazardous materials.

(CNN) -- American actor David Carradine has been found dead, hanging by a nylon rope in a hotel room closet in Bangkok, Thailand, according a Thai police official.

Goodbye, grasshopper.

I feel guilty. I associated him with XPT and pervyness just the other day... Maybe I'm bad luck...



@ Uncle Bornyo. Call me up soon, so we can hang...






PS. HOLYFUCKINCHICKENuGGETS! in Bangkok OF ALL places. Fuckin' iRony.

Too bad- I liked him in Kung Fu and Kill Bill. He was a quirky actor with a great presence on screen.

he did a great job playing oriental for a non-slope

I never understood why he got that role. It ruined the series for me. Every time a bad guy called him "Chinaman" I wondered wtf.

he had a rope around his neck and genitals

Isn't that standard Hollywood wardrobe? Like European tourists in sandals and white socks on NYC streets, a Florida retiree in loud golf pants, or a NJ or LI princess in a belly shirt??

those lady boys can tie a mean knot- getting a few of them to scurry around on deck as you raced the america's cup could give quite the advantage. if nothing else, the emerging Carradine stories give us men hope that crazy shit well into our seventies is a distinct possibility -- chasing down that sweet release. i had my doubts honestly.

granted, i know there was that story about tony curtis knocking a chick up when he was seventy, then the enquirer put out photos of him pushing a baby stroller with headline "babystroller or walker?" and everyone laughed it up, but David makes it almost seem romantic by comparison. red silk robes, cute little games with the local sex rats, a bjork remix looping nonstop because he wanted it that way, all set to an ecstasy-fueled slow motion. one can only imagine.

i was driving today and suddenly wondered "what was david's last thought? i bet it was ice cream.. or maybe a sandy beach, kind of empty with no people, just looking out onto the span of the thing. low tide." after that I thought about something else.

three words: honesty, fragility, sex machine. THAT was David, and that's how we'll remember him. he didn't just have 'em. he had 'em all over the world.

i think that hoe who was there freaked the fuck out when that nigga start turning all purple and shit and ran.

The same publication (Thai Rath) is supposedly going to publish leaked autopsy photos too. Eeeek.
