This Tuesday 9 EST he will be on the new TV summer series titled "Mental" He plays a patient. I wonder if they pull this episode off the air? I saw previews but hard to tell what is going on with him other than he gets electric shocks or something.

Mental is my new favorite show. I saw that preview too - bet they won't pull the episode. Unfortunately, his death will probably just get more people to watch.

Wiki:

David Carradine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On June 4, 2009, Carradine was found dead in his room at the Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel on Wireless Road, near Sukhumvit, in central Bangkok, Thailand.[2][3] A police official said Carradine was found hanging by a rope in the room's closet.[13][14] Meanwhile, the Bangkok Post reported that his body was found curled up in the wardrobe with a shoelace tied around his penis and neck.[15]

Khunying Pornthip Rojanasunand, a flamboyant Thai forensic pathologist and Director of Forensic Science Institute, stated the incident met four of the criteria for accidental death involving Autoerotic asphyxiation. Pol Lt Gen Worapong Chewprecha, Commander of the Metropolitan Police, remarked that the closed circuit television installed within the hotel supported the theory that no other persons were involved with the death.[16][17][18][19] Carradine's representative and family members told the press that they believed the death to be accidental and not a suicide.[20]

Carradine was in Bangkok to shoot his latest movie, Stretch, but the film crew were aware of his absence when they went to dine out at a restaurant on June 3

I read on that valuable and infallible news-source known as Twitter that ""A rope was attached to David Carradine's neck and penis. Auto-erotic sex act?"

Hung by his own rope. The man is a legend.


Twitter with me people, Twitter with me.

Twitter: What are you doing?

 

[JW Frogen]

David is dead, too late to save grasshopper now. Save yourselves, Twitter with JW Frogen.

YouTube - Brandon Lee VS David Carradine- Finale in Kung Fu: The Movie

Imagine how galling it must have been for Brandon Lee to lose a fight to David Carradine when Carradine had stolen his Dad's role...

 

[Xenophon]

Sad to see, I have the original King Fu on DVD, still an entertaining show after all these years.

One does not 'twitter', one 'tweets'.

Why one would do so is beyond comprehension.

If it was accidental, (and it looks like it must have been) what an embarrassing way to die.

This is the best news I have had in 30 years. Mr. Hilda finally gets knocked off the top spot in the Celebrity Pervert Death list.

That's exactly what my husband & I were talking about. We remember Kung Fu him as "grasshopper" from the 70's. It was one our favorite shows.
