RIP David Carradine

My Mom and I loved watching King Fu together and I've always liked his movies.  So sad over his death, more so than normal because initial reports indicate that he committed suicide.

RIP, David.  You will be missed.

Damn. RIP.

aw.  i used to watch kung fu with my brother.

it was one of the few times we stopped fighting with each other after school.

*sad*

snatch the pebble from my hand grasshopper....

Aw, this is a bummer. I wonder, did we all watch this show with our obnoxious brothers?

To those who would destroy us. In the past, when we have relied on our great teachers to lead us, our enemies in high and low places, could deal us a mortal blow by simply lopping off our heads. Now in our oneness, we are not like a great beast which may be destroyed by a single well planned stoke to the brain. Rather, we are like an ocean of many waves, or a field of flowers. Though one or more may be uprooted, the others still live, with a life of our own.

Yep it sucks and RIP.  Tarantino was going to release a Kill Bill Volume III in 2013 so I guess "Bill" will need to be replaced.  Booooooo

What?  No!

RIP

I was very sadden by the news and shocked that he had killed himself.  I loved watching Kung Fu.  Prayers out to his family, friends and fans.

R.I.P.

After reading the article, I suspect foul play. :(

more reports coming in - was an accidental death. rope was also wrapped around other body parts.

Yikes.

erotic asphyxiation?

looks like it.

I grew up watching Mr Carradine in Kung Fu and Shogun.  I really enjoyed his charater in Kill Bill.  I was a highly respect person in the business & he will be greatly missed.  Heaven will be a safer place with David Carradine in it.

 yes....a safeword...too bad.  RIP

auto is more like it - in which case a safe word would have been useless.

While I respect him as an actor, this is an awfully silly way to go.

bummer I too remember Kung  Foo.  Sad Very Sad

 Concur Kathy. 

If this accurate, I cannot fathom what his family is thinking. While suicide would have been horrific and exceptionally difficult to deal with, now this is just...weird. 

EDIT:  To each his own on the sexual part of this.  I'm just saying it ended up being a very odd way to accidentally die.

Hey, the singer from INXS went this way too so apparently choking yourself out during climax is all the rage!  I would be really angry if I was his wife actually.  It is a senseless and humiliating way to die.

Watched a snippet of a Larry King video with his manager, Michael Madsen and Quentin Tarantino.  They all agreed that Mr. Carradine would've approved of all the mystery and intrigue surrounding his death.   Apparently, foul play isn't out of the question.

Sadness.

A shame.
