Iconic film and television actor David Carradine was found dead in his Bangkok, Thailand hotel room this morning at the age of 72. The news was confirmed by a U.S. Embassy official and it was said he died either late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
While the death is still being investigated, early reports have surfaced that indicate the star of the
Kill Bill films and the TV series
Kung Fu had been found hanged in his hotel room.
Carradine had been in town to film his new movie,
Stretch, and it was said the actor didn't join the cast and crew on Wednesday night and it was said that a hotel maid found his body on Thursday morning.
The actor's career spanned over 100 film credits as well as two dozen TV movies and theater performances.
UPDATE: 4 PM PST TMZ is now reporting that Carradine's death was accidental, and not a suicide. A rep for Carradine confirmed the news with this statement:
"We can confirm 100% that he never would have committed suicide. It was an accidental death. Everybody is in shock."
It seems that Carradine's body was found nude, hanging in a closet with a rope not only around his neck, but "other parts of his body" as well.
We'll keep you posted on any other news regarding Carradine's death as soon as we have more information.

I don't think there was any fight/pimp/knife fights involved.
He chocked to death will trying to keep a hardon and get to the climax.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE...all his stupid family members are only going to embarrass themselves and 'his memory' by digging further!
...
Erotic asphyxiation with a hooker maybe. As for the knife wound...somehow her pimp became involved? That's the only explanation. The hotel was known for sex, so it was an act with a hooker gone wrong and the pimp killed him. I mean, he was found IN A CLOSET! Who the fuck has sex in a closet?!?!?!!?! (In a hotel anyway)
MICHAEL HUTCHENSE now CARRADINE. Two talented losers!
and J.A. Ottley has got to be 100% right; nothing else makes sense anyway.

He was hanged, apparently and died of suffocation, and his genitals were tied into a knot or something like that.
They believe that it was a sex game gone wrong, because the hotel he was staying out is known for its sex games and being the biggest and most sexual hotel in all of Bangkok.
But the knife wound, apparently has been disclosed, and was only mentioned in a few news report and then disclosed.
the update talked about the murder, mentioned the stab wound, and that he was found hanged in a hotel closet in Bangkok, in which he was in the area, filming for his new film called 'Stretch'
R.I.P, Dave.
Can't believe someone would murder him, actually new news report confirmed he was hanged in the closet and stabbed in the side.
I definately don't call that autopsy suicide, do you?
