Kung Fu Star David Carradine Found Dead
EDIT: Holy Shit! I just cannot believe this part of the story:Actor David Carradine was found dead in his luxury Bangkok hotel room -- discovered naked and hanging from a rope in the room's closet, Thai police said.
Kill Bill and Kung Fu star David Carradine has been found dead in a Bangkok hotel room, BBC correspondent Jonathan Head has reported.
The 72-year-old was in Thailand filming his latest film Stretch, according to his personal manager Chuck Binder.
Mr Binder said the news was "shocking", adding: "He was full of life, always wanting to work... a great person."
Carradine was part of an acting dynasty which included his father, John Carradine, and brothers Bruce, Keith and Robert.
The star was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s TV series Kung Fu, which spawned sequels in the '80s and '90s.
After a career which included more than 100 movies with directors such as Martin Scorsese and Ingmar Bergman, he recently found fame again thanks to his role in Quentin Tarantino's 2003 film Kill Bill.
He is survived by his wife, Annie Bierman, and four children.

Kung Fu was one of my absolute favorite shows growing up. I even loved the second series from the 90's. If David Carradine was in a film, I saw it (though admittedly, not all of them). He will be surely missed.
I think it's time to pop in the DVD of Circle Of Iron. Funny thing is that I've really been wanting to watch it lately.
