Kung Fu Star David Carradine Dead
David Carradine, the star of “Kill Bill” and the man behind the legendary 1970s TV series “Kung Fu,” has died at age 72.
Citing cited unidentified police sources, the Thai English-language newspaper The Nation has reported that Carradine was found hanged in a luxury hotel room and died as a result of a suicide, though other sources say he died of natural causes.
Carradine was staying in
Carradine appeared in the late ’60s Western series “Shane” and went on to portray Shaolin monk Kwai Chang Caine in “Kung Fu” from 1972-75, a role he reprised in a later TV-movie and a ’90s TV series. Carradine appeared in over 100 feature films, but perhaps his most well-known recent movie was as Bill in Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” films.

Can’t believe this news! I grew up watching Kung-fu on TV
raph
He was a man with character and excellent acting skills. I remember him always for ‘kung-fu’ the TV show
when I was a litle boy, it’s really sad he died in such a sad way. Questions of how and why an actor will fly all the way to an exotic far away place from his home away from his family to make a movie and kill himself???? It just doesnt make too much sense. I hope they fnd the real truth about how he died…
