Hmmm... he was on site to film a new movie and ends up hanged... in bangkok... no known note... somthing tells me that it is an unlikely suicide...

[deerwhacker444]

That stinks,...he was one of my favorites.! I would have liked for him to go out a better way.

Kind of like Chet Baker... thrown out of a hotel window by "associates" unknown...

[SmokeEater2]

I'm sorry to hear this. I enjoyed the History Channel Wild West Tech program he hosted. IIRC He was in The Long Riders years ago too.

[2ndovc]

That sucks.

Cool Guy. Thought he was great in "Kill Bill"

[madman4570]

No way he hanged himself.
They were jelous of him over there and proably killed em.
Lets send Good Old Chuck Norris over there and he still could wipe em all out!

Really---That stinks!!!!!!! I liked him. Prayers said!

[O.S.O.K.]

Boy that is fishy... I can't see him committing suicide. No way. I bet his brothers are upset and will pursue this. I can't see them buying this either.

+1 Long Riders time!

[Streetstar]

seems like an unlikely suicide guy, --- hard to know what goes on behind people's faces though. (money, lack of money, stress, illness, ???)

I dont understand doing something like this at the age of 72 unless he was recently diagnosed with a bad illness or something.

[Tennessee Hayre]

Heard on the news this morning David Caradine was found hanging in his hotelroom while making a new movie.

[Premo]

See link to Bangkok newspaper, The Nation. They seem to believe it was suicide.

What the newspaper or anybody else "believes" is irrelevant. What does the autopsy and forensic evidence say? That's what I'm curious about.

Exactly. And what about his family - what do they know? And the people that he was working with there? I am sure that Thailand doesn't want the murder of a famous actor on their soil... and I wouldn't put it past them to obstruct and cover up evidence to keep the bad publicity away.

[marlinman93]

I can't imagine why a guy would travel all the way to Bankok, start filming a movie, and then hang himself. Sure smells bad to me.

[OI phones in...]

Since when has Bankok had a "good" reputation to protect ?

David Carradine dies strangely in Thailand. Sounds like he may have been trying one of those suffocation-sex techniques.

[6pt-sika]

"Kung Fu guy bites it " , that's a real "nice" , "pleasent" and "respectfull" way to speak of a man's passing !

NOT

[Gobblerforge]

Ahhhhh...Grasshoppaa.....time for you to go....

Major points, OI, for referencing Chet Baker. I thought I was the only lever-totin' jazz guy.

As for the subject at hand, I saw details that stated his hands were bound and he was sitting in a chair. Now, all of that could turn out to be false, but one does not hang oneself sitting down OR with hands bound, do they? I think this is what's known in Thailand as "hooker malfunction."

A very regrettable end, to be sure.

Whatever the truth behind his death, I am still gonna miss seeing him on screen.

[Pete44ru]

[Sounds like he may have been trying one of those suffocation-sex techniques.]

I didn't hear about the chair thing, but did hear a news talking head say he was found hanging in a closet, with a rope around his neck and (ahem) nethers.

They're now saying "accidental death from auto-erotic asphyxiation".

I'd venture to say, we've seen the last of his Yellow Book TV commercials.

I'd rather "speak softly and carry a big stick", the stick in this case being anything in a caliber starting with a "4"!

Shouldn't laugh at the recently departed, but that was funny - and I don't care who you are!
