David Carradine Dies in Bangkok

Posted Jun 4th 2009 10:19AM by TMZ Staff

Legendary actor David Carradine was found dead in a hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand this morning.

According to Carradine's agent, the 72-year-old "Kung Fu" and "Kill Bill" star was in Thailand for a movie.

David's agent told WABC that he believes the actor died of natural causes.

TMZ last encountered Carradine back in March, when the guy -- who was always in a playful mood when we ran into him -- jokingly told our camera guy, "I could take you f"**kin' out man!"

27. This is such sad news. He was really a talented actor. I saw the March TMZ crew chasing him on the street. You should be ashamed of yourselves. All you want to do is chase people around and try to dig up dirt or find a way to embarrass them. Well, in my opinion, you are the ones who should be embarrassed. I don't know how you sleep at night.

My sympathies to all of the Carradine family, friends and fans.
