American actor David Carradine, best know for the 1970's television series Kung Fu and the Kill Bill
films has been found dead in a Bangkok hotel room.
Thai police have revealed that the 72-year-old was found by a hotel maid sitting in a wardrobe with
a rope around his neck and body on Thursday morning. He was in Thailand filming his latest film
Stretch, according to his personal manager Chuck Binder.
Mr Binder said the news was "shocking", adding: "He was full of life, always wanting to work... a
great person."
Carradine was part of an acting dynasty which included his father, John Carradine, and brothers
Bruce, Keith and Robert.
The star was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s TV series Kung Fu, which
spawned sequels in the '80s and '90s.
After a career which included more than 100 movies with directors such as Martin Scorsese and Ingmar
Bergman, he recently found fame again thanks to his role in Quentin Tarantino's 2003 film Kill
Bill.
He was born John Arthur Carradine on the 8th December 1936 in Hollywood, California, USA. He is
survived by his wife, Annie Bierman, and four children.
RIP DAVID
Don't judge me for how I left this world,
Remember the love I gave
A lot of grief will follow me
For the decision that I made
Changes appear in everyone's life
Some good, some bad
The one I chose for myself
Made everyone very sad
But in time the memories will heal the hurt of hearts
And my presence will be felt by all with an inner peace
Remember me when the sun is bright and laughter fills the air
And a moonlit night and a whisper of wind
Will tell you I am there
Don't look down on my family
Or fill their hearts with blame
For my leaving them without good-byes
Has left them so much pain
If I could go back in time
I would say a last good-bye
I would tell them to look to tomorrow
And for me.please do not cry."

A Fine Actor
As a child I used to watch David every week in Kung Fu. He was a brilliant actor and went on to do many great things. Rest in Peace David xxxxx
Smile for me
I want to say don't miss me
Don't keep crying tears
I can see you every day
As you face up to your fears
You can talk to me still
Even though I'm not here
I am only sleeping now
And every day I'm near
When you see a rainbow
That's where i now dwell
And when the sun shines down
Don't let your eyes swell
Laugh and i will laugh with you
Blow kisses up to the sky
For i will always be with you
I am asleep i did not die
