    Found dead in a hotel in Bankok, on location for a film.

    Mega-bummer for me. Kill Bill is my favorite movie and I loved Kung Fu.

    :(

    This is Truly and Utterly sad :(

    Even in movies I didn't like David Carradine's performance always stood out for me as the most enjoyable aspect of that movie. His acting will be sorely missed.

    It may not have been intentional:

    How strange is that? I've never heard of it before. In any event, this is very tragic.

    Didn't that happen to Michael Hutchence as well?

    But, wow. I'm shocked. I mean...Bill.

    You've never heard of it? Wow, you must live a sheltered life. We had a kid on a ship in our battlegroup die this way -- I certainly wouldn't have wanted to make the call to the family.

    One episode of X-Files had the great quote, "You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified way than autoerotic asphyxiation."

    "Chandos, there is a really beautiful woman who wants you take her up to your hotel room."

    Chandos considers: :hmm:

    "Tell her no thanks. I'd rather go up to my room and hang myself in the closet with a curtain cord."

    "OK, Chandos, sounds like a good time to me."

    NOT! More like a "normal" life, T2. :)

    Not to split hairs, but I'm fairly certain T2 was talking about the fact that you hadn't heard of it. When I was growing up, one of the parishioners at my church died that way and my mother didn't know what it was. The priests were astonished that she'd never heard of it...

    Man, talk about sad. I loved his performance in Kung-Fu, and Kill Bill wouldn't be the same without him. If I may, here is a "David Carradine fact" as a tribute:

    David Carradine is not dead, he's just too badass for a physical body to keep up with him.

    Rest in peace, old master... You have been an inspiration to us all.
