Kung Fu Actor Dead

A news report said he was found hanged in his hotel room and was believed to have committed suicide.  Carradine died either late Wednesday or early Thursday, but they could not provide further details out of consideration for his family.  Carradine was in Bangkok to shoot a movie and had been staying at the hotel since Tuesday.  Carradine could not be contacted after he failed to appear for a meal with the rest of the film crew on Wednesday, and that his body was found by a hotel maid at 10 a.m. Thursday morning.  Police investigation found that he had hanged himself with a cord used with the room’s curtains. It cited police as saying he had been dead at least 12 hours and there was no sign that he had been assaulted.

Our condolences go out to the Carradine family and their friends.
