I haven't heard that news yet!...Damn!...RIP grasshopper....
RIP......I own the original Kung Fu series on dvd. When he was filming the remake in town here I knew a few actors that mentioned how his heroin abuse had ravished him. I wonder if he was still chipping.

oh no this sucks! He was awesome in that trans-am movie with the...trans-am. He was also in Death Race I think..driving that Frankenstein car.
So how did he die? Someone gave him the 5-point palm exploding heart technique?

Boat Drinks for you David...
The U.S. Embassy in Bangkok has confirmed the death of David Carradine, 72.
BANGKOK (AP) — Actor David Carradine, star of the 1970s TV series Kung Fu who also had a wide-ranging career in the movies, has been found dead in the Thai capital, Bangkok. A news report said he was found hanged in his hotel room and was believed to have committed suicide.
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, Michael Turner, confirmed the death of the 72-year-old actor. He said Carradine died either late Wednesday or early Thursday, but he could not provide further details out of consideration for his family.
The website of the Thai newspaper The Nation cited unidentified police sources as saying Carradine was found Thursday hanged in his luxury hotel room and is believed to have committed suicide.
Carradine was a leading member of a venerable Hollywood acting family that included his father, character actor John Carradine, and brother Keith.
In all, he appeared in more than 100 feature films with such directors as Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby.
But he was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin priest traveling the 1800s American frontier West in the TV series Kung Fu, which aired in 1972-75.
He reprised the role in a mid-1980s TV movie and played Caine's grandson in the 1990s syndicated series Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.
He returned to the top in recent years as the title character in Quentin Tarantino's two-part saga Kill Bill.

Hard to grasp why he would hang himself. Perhaps we will find out more details at some point.

I thought you were going to say "All in the Family".....
Shame that he'd do this in the middle of a movie shoot at the age of 72....just goes to show no one really knows what is going on with somebody else.
He could have been sick or heart-broken...
RIP
