Jun 4 2009UPDATE: David Carradine found dead in Bangkok

Sigh.

Always the good ones...

And yet, Jackie Chan lives..????

: [

#1 - Right? Why couldn't it have been any (or all) of the druggie, STD infested, attention whores like Spencer, Heidi or Paris? RIP Grasshopper, you kicked ass!

That cant be good for tourism over there! how do you off yourself in the land of anything goes as far as delicacies and debauchery....

RIP Kwai Chang Caine

"When a man finds his way, heaven is gentle."

He hung himself.

Hm. Guess he took that fifth step.

Really great actor, though. Good enough to fool most people into thinking he didn't have a lisp.

The man was incredible in Kill Bill. Relevant and able to provide a compelling performance up until the end. A very sad day.

He introduced countless westerners to the concepts of Buddhism. "Kung Fu" is a wonderful show (to those who have never seen it - rent it! It's a little slow at times, but the lessons are beautiful).

I find it ironic that a man who taught us to govern our passions has apparently succumbed to his despair. This is very, very sad. But we will always have his art to remember him.

7: It's hanged, not hung, you rube!

Did he ever snatch the pebble?

I really wonder about the suicide story...really doesn't seem to jibe. I smell coverup, as this is Thailand, were corruption is supreme.

Get the fuck out - he actually HUNG HIMSELF. Did NOT see that coming. Bummer. Total bummer.

We've lost more good actors in the last year than I can count. Once again, I'd like to offer a trade:

Blohan, Parisite, the Douche-Twins, Kardassian, and the rest of "Young Hollywood's" shit in exchange for any ONE of the following:

George Carlin, Bernie Mac, Dom Deluise, Paul Newman, Heath Ledger, Charlton Heston, Sydney Pollack, Harvey Korman, David Carradine, Bo Diddley (not an actor, but I'm keeping him), Roy Scheider and Bea Arthur. Yes, Bea Arthur.

Is that asking so much?

Completely shocked. Never saw that coming.
Rest in peace.

One of David's best roles was playing the villain opposite, Chuck Norris in the classic martial arts flick, Lone Wolf McQuaid. Now, he and Bruce Lee can settle the score over David getting the role over Bruce in, Kung Fu. Light that little chop suey MFer up, DC! And watch out, those little china men are sneaky. Brandon might try to ambush your shit, while you're battling Bruce!

He had a rope around his neck and genitals. Found by a maid sitting in a chair in a closet. Sounds like he pulled a Michael Hutchence....

Dude was pretty strange, but RIP anyway.....

.

On the bbc website (which has now been removed ) it said that he was found in a wardrobe with a cord wrapped around his genatals and his neck....

I guess G-D killed him

R.I.P. David...

bummer. never good to be found with a cord around your nuts.

he was too awesome to die of natural causes

What movie was he working on? it wasnt a "fist full of pain" was it?

He didn't just hang himself.
Check other more reputable news sites.

He wasn't found by the producer either. It was a hotel maid who found him. He was hanging with a rope tied around his neck and genitals, people.

Freaky, but true.

There are hundreds of sites still reporting this, I don't know why this one has chosen to sanitise the report instead of making a mockery of it. Perhaps the siteowner really liked David. Who knows?

Heavy Cocaine user.

Cocaine = Major depression = suicide

RIP Kwai Chang Caine

must be that he found out about them little thai girls being boys. One of them must of done a O-ren ishi style on him. Sad.

Is him... Seems he is famous on some ta ll da ting place ____T allMingle Co M___ where are many hot models and handsome guys. Many tall singles find their lovers there

maybe he woz gonna vot y e s
in the sag thing ?

Carradine I told you not to mess with the Chuckster

R I P
Dave play a Chinese guy better than me !

This stinks.
I don't buy this suicide bull.

David Carradine on drugs? is this true? well a lot of actors died on drugs. R.I.P. David.

RIP Grasshopper.

The onry question that remain is *who* Hung Fu?
Lest in pleace glasshopper.

Five point palm exploding heart technique?

R.I.P Grasshopper :(

A lifelong sicko kills himself while doing one of his sicko fetish games: good riddance.

Everytime I've ever had to teach someone to fight or teach them a lesson I always felt like David Carradine in KUNG FU. Am I then only one who rented the Rob Schneider movie BIG STAN? David Carradine was so funny in that (He's teaching Rob Schneider to fight so he wont get raped in prison). I just watched that two weeks ago and now I find out he's dead. Its a shame.
The first two stories I heard made it sound like a suicide, which sounded suspicious to me....Now you guys are bringing genitals into the story and it makes me think he "pulled a Michael Hutchence". Still ...very sad.

Anyone else find it odd that one of his last movies of 2008 was called "My Suicide"? Yeah...

He looked really old anyway. Sad though. Don't understand how someone could off themselves.

I'm guessing accidental death while he was trying to get his erotic asphyxiation on.

Hung-Fu.

Hung-Fu.

I never could see him hanging himself? Shooting, maybe!

This was not suicide. This was murder.

# 41 - that's "auto-erotic asphyxiation". Remember kids: degenerate acts have proper names; use them (especially if you're going to engage in them - no reflection on 41).
We're here to help.

BTW - when someone from my childhood dies, I feel ever older.... I'll miss the cheesy old bastard.

David was awesome in Circle of Iron, the film Bruce Lee wrote but then died before he could direct...

That doesn't exactly sound like a suicide..

damn you uma thurman!!!

"They said you was hung!"
"And they was right!"

He was awesome in Circle of Iron...

#46 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotic_asphyxiation. I am using the proper name, but thanks for the helpful lesson.

"They said you was hung!"
"And they was right!"

Now this is going to get interesting... David definitely ran to his own tune, a little kooky, loved Kung Fu. His final grasshopper fight: Family & Hollywood scrubbed down death bio vs pappanazi's exploitation of all famous death. Will TMZ fly to the Thai & vomit up the dirt?

auto erotic asphyxiation - it wasn't suicide - it was an accident - there has been an uptick in this type of death worldwide since the late 1990's among young teenage boys - it's embarrassing - finding your kid hanging himself in his bedroom or the bathroom , dead with a raging hard on, yep the hard on remains after you die, you die with blue balls for eternity - anyway the parents at a loss , report he died of depression, pressure at school, Satanists, the usual shit, meanwhile, the coroner's report gets closer to the truth. Another recent celebrity who died of auto-erotic asphyxiation but it was covered up as a suicide by depression - David Foster Wallace - he was researching a story on the very phenomena of auto erotic asphyxiation among teenagers and wanted to see what the attraction was since the man was eternally curious - whoops, again -David Carradine wasn't depressed - he was eternally kinky sonofabitch - let's hope he died happy with smile on his face, okay? Now where's the filthy Thai whore who forgot to cut the noose in time? I gotta score to settle ... Bill sent me!!!!!!!

*tokin' on a bong*

Think about, man............we're all on death row.

*'nother toke*

Yeah....

Jeeze, people, read the description. This is clearly an accidental suicide (or the hooker was able to sneak out). It's a most likely a case of autoerotic asphyxiation.

Vere sad. Happens quite a lot in dorms, but they usually get publicized as "suicides" to stave off further humiliation. What, did you think that he hanged himself by the junk first and once that didn't work he moved on to his neck?

Wow... shocking and very sad.
RIP

So i kinda get the rope around the neck but why
hang your junk too? I dont get it. Anybody??

The guy was famous for something he didn't know anything about, and then to die in such a humiliating way? Hollywood just craps on all of us.

@#41 yes, the act itself is called erotic asphyxiation, when there is a purposeful cutting off of oxygen for purposes of sexual arousal. however, when someone does it to themselves because they are alone, it is specifically called auto-erotic asphyxiation. Ask Muider :-)

@19 - Gina Davis had nothing to do with this.

I'm with #17. I don't think this was suicide.

Hanging Death in Bangkok, this either points to Suicide or some autoerotic stunt with some tranny Thai Hookers gong horribly wrong.

Fuck that "died in bed surrounded by family" crap. This is the way I want to go out :

Bloodstream full of crack, nostrils full of coke, recently sucked off by a whore in Bangkok, tattoo on face and heavily in debt, motorcycle crash at 150mph. All after leading a full life, of course.

Respect to you for doing it your way sir, and RIP.

I'm feeling auto-erotic just thinking about roping my neck and junk!

Did anyone notice how the media sanitized the story as the day went on? Proof here:

http://chrysler5thavenue.blogspot.com/2009/06/david-carradine-kills-himself-jerking.html

He didn't hang himself to kill himself nimrods, he hung himself to wank off at the same time, it's called auto-erotic asphyxiation. Michael Hutchence of INXS made the same mistake also. They think they're going to be able to get themselves off the rope or whatever in time but they screw up somehow and of course, choke to death. At least he went out with a hard-on.

You are now free to walk the Earth Kway Chang Caine.

He did seem to live life IN Xcess

Oh well. I hear he pebbled a lot of snatch.

If the BBC and other news sources are right... it doesn't sound like a definite accidental suicide to me. He was naked and a cord around his neck and genitals. If it was asphyxiation as someone stated before, there wouldn't be a cord around his genitals because he's trying to get off by oxygen deprivation, not cutting off circulation to his member which would make it damned near impossible for him to get off, because it's the circulation and blood flow that helps to get a man hard. Sounds to me like some kind of possible sex act turned into murder. Maybe a bit conspiracy sounding, but think about it people...

@55 I beg to differ on the David Foster Wallace issue. His was a suicide, he had a long history of depression and even tried ECT to relieve himself. Have you ever read his work? After reading Infinite Jest I understood why he did it. If my mind worked like his I'd kill myself to.

Who the hell hangs themselves by the neck AND the genitals? Does this seem like murder to anyone else?..

He was a lifelong weirdo. Definitely sounds like a Michael Hutchence to me !!

It was Chris Benoit, I just know it. Now to hunt for evidence, brb.

I wish people would get it right. It's "hanged" not "hung".

How very sad. He was so awesome in the Kill Bill movies. And I agree, it is always the good ones who die. When the hell is Paris Skankton gonna do everyone a favor and keel over?? Stupid disease infested waste of space.

What is so good about the guy? A violent, alchoholic drug addict who is now, by definition, always going to be known as a jerk off? I don't see it....

He was killed by a Saigon whore.

the "AMERICAN CRISIS" will find you.

OH! NICE!
I know a more interesting site than this*******Cougar Circle . c o m*****It is where single women and men come together for the mutual online dating experience.and it is for free. I lilke the site!

A person, as a death row convict is "hanged". An object, say a picture is "hung". Carry on.

David55 - you must be lily12s bestie, right?! Or Lily12s evil siamese twin or something?

Althoug it's a cut rate movie, Carradine's part in BIG STAN makes the whole thing worth a watch. Despite the whole idea that he auto-erotic-beat himself off to death, apparently they're doing a special autopsy on him this morning because police there suspect foul play.

They have already added him to Wikipedia for auto-erotic asphyxiation ..wow, they were quick to judge weren't they? Here's the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoerotic_asphyxiation

Well, you never know..he might have been with a partner and something went terribly wrong and they could have became scared and ran..Sounds fishy for sure.

Weird though, they emphasize that it happens more in men in their 20's and 70's according to Wikipedia. Broad range huh? And also that it cures erectile dysfunction.. Who knows why or what went on.

If this is what happened...definitely morbidly sick...

Everyone, Please don't blame on Thailand.

I'm Thai living in Bangkok.It's very sad to know the shocking news today.

Thailand is not dangerous as you guys think. In your country, there might have some dangerous people. Every countries have good and bad people. Nobody want their country to get bad point of view from others, except idiot people.

The doctor said after checking his body, found that he was in shocked and lacked of Oxygen due to he did "Auto-erotic". (find the meaning in google or youtube)

Nobody knows how is the fact. But please don't blame my country.

Bless for you Mr. David Carradine. Be in peace on the heaven.

The maid apparently snapped a pic on her camera phone.

What's the bidding on a picture of his corpse, with the ropes still in place?

(It was two seperate ropes, one around his neck, one around his cock-shaft, and they were both tied together.)

50 bucks?

i was surprised to hear that Carradine was in a number of other movies besides Kill Bill like Shane (an oldie)

Pig Vomit Dies.

What a piece of scum! Nobody should give this pervvvv any praise. He lived that a real dirtbag with his horrible sex antics and INCEST! PUKE
