R.I.P. David Carradine

We were shocked to hear from E.T. that Kung Fu star David Carradine was found dead in a Bangkok hotel room.

From Bloomberg we read the following:

Carradine was found dead early this morning local time at the Swissotel Nai Lert Park hotel in Bangkok, Thailand’s capital, according to Michael Turner, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy. He was found hanging from a rope in what appeared to be a suicide, Pirom Chantrapirom, deputy chief of the Lumpini police station, said in a telephone interview.

A photo montage giving a retrospective on this great actor’s life may be found at The Washington Post.
