Actor David Carradine, star of the 1970s TV series “Kung Fu” who also had a wide-ranging career in the movies, has been found dead in the Thai capital, Bangkok.
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, Michael Turner, confirmed the death of the 72-year-old actor. He says Carradine died either late Wednesday or early Thursday, but he could not provide further details out of consideration for his family.
The Web site of the newspaper The Nation cited unidentified police sources as saying Carradine was found Thursday hanged in his luxury hotel room and is believed to have committed suicide.
Carradine was a leading member of a venerable Hollywood acting family that included his father, character actor John Carradine, and brother Keith.

What they didn't report (I'm sure) is that 3 Thai hookers left his room with a bag full of coke and Viagra... and the fact that he was probably naked, "stiff", and had a big smile on his face.
That's the way I wouldn't mind checking out... so hopefully this is the way it went down for Caine...or Bill... whatever you want to call him.
