32. That is so pathetic! How can you call this an accident? Was the "rep" there with him at the time and can varify he
was only fooling around? This is so pathetic. Much better to call it suicide than Russian roulette or anything else!

33. My first thought after reading this headline was like most of yours..."how on earth could they possibly call THAT an accident"????

I guess I'm truly naive (or normal hopefully) cause I've NEVER heard of this! Wrapping a rope around your neck AND body? In a closet????

Wow.

I always liked him and loved him years ago on the original Kung Fu when I was a teen and then Kane.

I remember reading movie mags back then and thinking he was kinda wierd. I remember he had a relationship with actress Barbara Hershey and they were going to eat some of the placenta and then plant the rest when their baby was born. I remember think OMG! How gross!

It's a shame though however he died because he was a good actor.

My condolences go out to his family and friends. Very sad.

34. Just a little FYI, there is no substantial evidence that Michael Hutchence from INXS died the same way. There is only speculation that he acidently hanged himself and the coroner found no evidence of it and ruled it a suicide.

35. HUNG FU means a fake TV actor and 20 year after the red SQ.He was making a JOKE and a dirty joke at that about inside hollywoods killroy system.I get that joke and I see NO one will upstage his death as a actor even at 72 years OLD.THat is what he was GREAT at acting and he knew they would find him that way and talk about him forever just like Howard Hughes.crotchy the clown or jack&jillion.LOL he had FUN in life and even that death.SCREW OFF no one has the right to demean him for finding his body anyway.Just like the did the MA`roll,he hurt no one.HE knew they would find him so he made a statement with his death that he never could in his acting.LOL MUCH LOVE I UNDERSTAND the joke that he saw himself as HUNG FU is a fake FU but he will be foever rememebered this way GOOD OR BAD rememebered!.

36. Its a shame that Carradine died in Bangkok. The events surrounding his death will always be questioned. There are going to be some that believe that he was accidentally killed in some S & M encounter gone wrong. Surprisingly enough, there are even some that believe that he was killed for the same reason conspiracy theorists believed Bruce Lee was killed. Hopefully people don't turn him into another Tupac and say he still alive in Bangkok, somewhere in a temple in the mountains. Maybe he was killed, maybe it was accident. Regardless, its a shame that such a legend had to die.

41. Asian hookers usually go for the price of an apple and a Snickers bar so my guess is he had a few up to the room. They probably rolled him and tied him up to look like he did it himself. Asian hookers are wicked sneaky!
