David Carradine of “Kung Fu” Found Hanged in Thailand

David Carradine, who was best known for the show Kung Fu and for Kill Bill, was found dead earlier today.

From the Washington Post:

Actor David Carradine, star of the 1970s U.S. television show “Kung Fu,” was found naked and hanging dead from a rope in the closet of his luxury Bangkok hotel room on Thursday, Thai police said. No signs were found of other people in the room and the body of the 72-year-old actor was sent to a hospital for an autopsy, police said.

This is such very sad news today and there is even talk of the actor committing suicide. This is being denied by his rep, but we smell a Heath Ledger style conspiracy a mile away - with all the undignified media speculation to boot.
