Moksha, show some respect. Just because you felt Bruce Lee was unjustly robbed of the Kung-Fu role for actually looking Asian, does not mean you should act like a boob about the passing of David Carradine.

This broke my heart when I heard about it last night. Thanks for starting a thread on this Jersey.

He was aging so gracefully, and doing some of his best work in his later years. I grew up watching him in Kung Fu, loved him in Lone Wolf McQuade, and was wowed by his evilness in Kill Bill.

It looks like he was murdered, because no one who was around him felt he was suicidal. His acting plate was full and he was enjoying the renewal of his carreer.

Gaz,

I just felt like posting a tribute here. Anyway, I read some other stuff that might have happened, but I'd really rather not discuss it on this thread.

Why not?

Carradine's death 'may have been sex play accident'

Sian Powell in Bangkok

Kung Fu and Kill Bill star David Carradine, who was found dead in a Bangkok hotel room yesterday, might have died from a botched attempt at auto-erotic asphyxiation, Thai police said today.

“There was a rope tied around his neck and another rope tied to his genitals, and the two ropes were tied together and they hung in the closet,” Lieutenant General Worapong Siewpreecha told reporters.

“Under these circumstances we cannot be sure that he committed suicide."

Auto-erotic asphyxiation is a dangerous practice which was linked to the untimely death of Australian pop singer Michael Hutchence in 1997, who was also found dead in a luxury hotel room. Oxygen is cut off to the brain to stimulate sexual arousal, but it is thought to cause hundreds of deaths per year in the United States.

There are facts we don't like.
