How many of you remember 'Kung Fu' and the Kill Bill movies?!!Well 'Kung Fu' movie legend David Carradine, who recently revamped his career in Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill' movies, has died at the age of 72.
Carradine was found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok, where he was set to shoot a new movie titled Stretch. The Nation newspaper, citing Thai police sources, is reporting that Carradine was found hanged in his hotel closet and that it may have been a suicide. There's been no other confirmation of that report so far, and Carradine's agent told KABC that he believed the actor died of natural causes.
Thai police also told the BBC that Carradine was found by a hotel maid "with a rope around his neck and body." The Nation report claims that a preliminary police investigation found that Carradine hanged himself with a curtain cord, and that he was dead for at least 12 hours when he was found. The report also states that there were no signs of assault or foul play.
Carradine's career is a vast one, with over 200 movies and TV shows to his credit, including the hit '70s show 'Kung Fu' and years later, more than 80 episodes of 'Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.' His breakout film role came in 1976, when he played Woody Guthrie in the biopic Bound for Glory.
Many of the younger fans will probably know him as title character 'Bill' in Tarantino's 2003-04 Kill Bill movies, where he played the leader of a group of assassins and was eventually killed by one of his own disciples. Carradine also dabbled in production and directing, and had roles in many television commercials.
