BBC.

update:
Kill Bill and Kung Fu star David Carradine has been found dead in a Bangkok hotel room.

Thai police told the BBC the 72-year-old was found by a hotel maid sitting in a wardrobe with a rope around his neck and genitals on Thursday morning.

The US star was in Thailand filming his latest film Stretch, according to his personal manager Chuck Binder.

Mr Binder said the news was "shocking", adding: "He was full of life, always wanting to work... a great person."

Carradine was part of an acting dynasty which included his father, John Carradine, and brothers Bruce, Keith and Robert.

The star was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s TV series Kung Fu, which spawned sequels in the '80s and '90s.

After a career which included more than 100 movies with directors such as Martin Scorsese and Ingmar Bergman, he recently found fame again thanks to his role in Quentin Tarantino's 2003 film Kill Bill.

He is survived by his wife, Annie Bierman, and four children.

Sad to hear of anyone's passing, regardless of the circumstances

If this is true, I am always saddened to hear when someone chooses to end their own life. Now, we don't know any circumstances behind this, but generally how lonely a person must feel to do that to themselves. Tragic.

Sounds like a sex act now.
 
Sounds eerily similar to Michael Hutchence's untimely demise. Definitely not cool at all and very sad indeed. :(
 
Kwai Chang Caine will be missed...

i don't think its suicide if his sausage was out... im with most on the speculation that it was an erotic experience gone wrong... i guess we can look on the bright side at least he passed away "getting it on"... >__<
 
That is very sad but does anyone else see the irony of his manager being called Binder?

Im going to Hull aren't I.
