Actor David Carradine Dead at 73

Two things started the martial arts craze in the early seventies. The television show “Kung Fu” and Bruce Lee on various stages. Now both of the people that started it all are now dead.

DEVELOPING:

“Kill Bill” star David Carradine was found dead in a Bangkok hotel room Wednesday, his manager told FOX News Thursday.

Chuck Binder said Carradine, 73, was staying in Bangkok while shooting a movie. The film crew became aware of his absence when they went to dine out at a restaurant yesterday. When a producer went to his room, he discovered that the actor had died.

A statement on behalf of his family has yet to be released, but Binder called the death “shocking and sad.”

While Binder gave no indication of the cause of death, several internet reports

Carradine was best known for his role in the television series “Kung Fu.”

    And this whole thing is taking a decidedly sick twist. That is why I haven’t posted any follow up information.
