David Carradine Dead At 72

[UNTflyer]

David Carradine, the star of "Kill Bill" and the man behind the legendary 1970s TV series "Kung Fu," has died at age 72.

Carradine was reportedly found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand, either late Wednesday or early Thursday morning. A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, Michael Turner, confirmed the death to The Associated Press but would provide no further details out of respect for Carradine's family.

Citing cited unidentified police sources, the Thai English-language newspaper The Nation has reported that Carradine was found hanged in a luxury hotel room and died as a result of a suicide, though other sources say he died of natural causes.

If you're gonna go, and it's gonna' be in a place as exotic as Bangkok, there really is no substitute for the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique.

I think he was also the host of Wild West Tech on The History Channel. He was good there too.

That was Keith who hosted wild west tech. David subed for him when Keith had some other obligations. I liked Keith as the host much better

I don't think there's enough evidence to think anything weird was going on.

Of course not. He was working on his artistic tying skills

when he simply got hung up.
