David Carradine dead at 72
Actor David Carradine was found dead in a Bangkok hotel room Wednesday.
His manager Chuck Binder said that Carradine was in Thailand shooting his latest film Stretch, and that he believes the 72-year-old actor “was full of life, always wanting to work… a great person.”
Reuters is reporting that Carradine was found dead, naked and hanging from a rope in the closet of his room at Bangkok’s Nailert Hotel.
Carradine wrestled with suicidal thoughts long before his death in a Bangkok hotel. A 2004 interview was dug up by The Telegraph Newspaper, where Carradine admits he considered shooting himself.
Carradine said, “Look, there was a period in my life when I had a single action Colt 45, loaded, in my desk drawer. And every night I’d take it out and think about blowing my head off, and then decide not to and go on with my life. Put it back in the drawer and open up the laptop and continue writing my autobiography or whatever. But it was just to see.”
Carradine was best known for his roles in Kill Bill and the television series Kung Fu. His last pictures may be of him running errands on May 21 in Tarzana, Calif.
