R.I.P.
David Carradine Dies in Bangkok

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!"

34. I really find it disgusting when some sick minded ppl talks bad about a dead man whatsoever.
Mr. Carradine was a nice man, and to all those sick ppl making no-brainer comments about him here..here's an advise for all those loosers, is not it the time yet to stop living like you will never die? Or do you still think you have been created just only for this world? So all your work is about this world.Death is only a wake-up from a deep dream for those non-sense creatures.
so long live awareness!

38. he tryed to kill himself many times over the years as early as age five.He was at home as a FU with his FU he lived his eastern dream and the china SQ deal could play into all that.His book was written and controlled his own life and death as a FU you can`t see any OTHER way he could have gone.it is the way of the FU,he had it all planned as is the way as he had tryed to live his whole life every step and action planned and controlled by the self.NO one could ever hurt him as the warror he lived and as the warror he died even if only as a HUNG FU but he had deep roots in eastern ways and in eastern DNA.

42. David was a big hero to me and my friends/sister when we were small, watched him in Kung fu lots. Classic!!!!
I really liked Death Race 2000. He had such an Iconic look and way of acting. I can't believe this news.

Was the director really that crappy?

45. Dont believe it was suicide for a second, I think this was murder personally and whoever did it obviously wanted to make it look like suicide. Motive ? ..Robbery, but most likely Gang cred. , I think this was done by some gang thugs who wanted to make a huge name for themselves in the crime underworld by taking out a martial arts legend.

Just as in the death of Bruce Lee and his son- their deaths were not accidents either,even though ruled accidental. In all of these cases I strongly believe foul play was involved. Being a superstar in a place like bangkok automatically makes you a target for robbery or worse. Forget the bangkok police,- id want some "Real" independant forensic investigators going through that crime scene and autoposy.
