The news is buzzing with word that another bizarre Hollywood death has occurred.
Actor David Carradine was found dead in his hotel suite's wardrobe closet at the Swissotel Nai Lert Park in Bangkok, Thailand by a maid. He was 72.
Carradine was in Thailand making a movie when a maid found his body with a rope around his neck.
Carradine gained fame in the television series, Kung Fu in the 1970s as Kwai Chang Caine. His father, John Carradine, was an actor who starred in many movies including House of Frankenstein and House of Dracula as Count Dracula.
Carradine won a Saturn Award for best supporting actor for his role in Kill Bill: Vol. 2.
The BBC is reporting that Thai police said a hotel maid found Carradine sitting in the closet with a cord around his neck and other parts of his body in what looks to be a suicide.
Or was it? It is not uncommon for people to have accidentally killed themselves with self-asphixiation via auto-erotic activities. It is also possible that he was murdered but it was made to look like suicide. It will be interesting to see what the investigation reveals.
UPDATE (6/5/09):
ABC News is reporting:
Carradine, 72, best known for his role in the 1970s television drama "Kung Fu," was found by a chamber maid at Bangkok's Park Nai Lert Hotel naked and dead, slumped in a closet with cords bound and connecting his neck and his genitals, Bangkok police said.
it would seem that Uma Thurman finally finished the job she set out to do years ago
