“Kill Bill” star, David Carradine has passed away. It is a terrible loss for the film industry. David was a highly regarded actor and currently in Bangkok working on another film.

After failing to show up for dinner friends became slightly concerned fro Carradine, but assumed he was resting. The 72 year old was then found in a closet by a maid late this morning bound in rope. He had passed away and cops have stated that he had been dead for nearly 12 hours. Nothing could be done to save him.

Initial reports suggested suicide, but both his agent and coworkers felt he was in good spirits. Along with his upbeat outlook he was bound by rope from the hotel curtains, not only around his neck, but other parts of his body as well. Perhaps this was an accident as an official cause of death is being looked into.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of David.
