David Carradine found dead in Bangkok

June 04, 2009 Carradine, whose career roared back to life when he played the assassin-turned-victim in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" films, appeared to have hanged himself, police said. The officer responsible for investigating the death, Teerapop Luanseng, said the actor was staying at a suite at the luxury Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. U.S. Embassy spokesman Michael Turner said the embassy was informed by Thai authorities that Carradine died late Wednesday or early Thursday, but he could not provide further details out of consideration for the family.
