David Carradine found dead of apparent suicide

Kill Bill star David Carradine, 72, was found dead in a Bangkok hotel room Thursday morning. The maid who found him said he was sitting in a wardrobe with a rope around his neck and body.

The US star 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.

If that rope was tied to a door knob and if you combine that with the fact he was in Bangkok, then things start making a lot more sense.
