Kung fu movie legend David Carradine, who recently revamped his career in Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill' movies, has died at the age of 72. Carradine was found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok, where he was set to shoot a new movie titled 'Stretch.'
Thai police sources, are reporting that Carradine was found hanged in his hotel closet and that it may have been a suicide. There's been no other confirmation of that report so far, and Carradine's agent told KABC that he believed the actor died of natural causes.
Carradine was found by a hotel maid "with a rope around his neck and body." Carradine's career is a vast one, with over 200 movies and TV shows to his credit, including the hit '70s show 'Kung Fu' and years later, more than 80 episodes of 'Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.' Younger fans will likely know him as title character 'Bill' in Tarantino's recent 'Kill Bill' movies. Carradine also dabbled in production and directing, and had roles in many television commercials.
The Carradine name has had a long history in Hollywood. David's father John Carradine and his brother Keith have also had showbusiness success.
