Very sad. His speech at the end of Kill Bill was the best thing about the movie. "I am a murdering son of a bitch. Surely my reaction wasn't that unexpected..."
a rope around his neck and body on Thursday morning. The US star was in Thailand filming his latest film Stretch Maybe he went overboard trying to get into character for "Stretch." Anyway, his brother Keith does a great job on Old West Tech! I used to watch Kung-Fu constantly when I was a kid.
That sounds a little fishy to me... Maybe I've watched too many episodes of CSI and Law and Order, but it depends on how his body was entangled, IMHO.
If I'm ever found dead in a Thai hotel room and the details don't include the words "prostitutes," "marathon sex session," and "large quantities of alcohol and drugs," I'm gonna be pissed.
In the classic X-Files episode 'Clyde Bruckmann's Final Repose,' Mulder encounters Bruckmann, an insurance salesman who can forsee people's deaths... Clyde Bruckmann: "You know, auto-erotic asphyxiation is a really undignified way to die." Fox Mulder: "Why are you telling me?" Clyde Bruckmann: "No reason."
When you're in your 70's, trying to asphixiate yourself during a semi-strenuous activity like sex is probably not the smartest thing in the world to do. Not that it's smart when you're in your roaring 20's, either. Well, presumably he died happy, if not necessarily satisfied. What an embarrassment for the family, though.
The article: That's really, really a goddamn shame. No dignity going out that way. Remember kids, always, ALWAYS use a spotter!
UPDATE! Turns out Grasshopper was "super freaky!" Incest.....wearing a wig and lingerie.....wow! http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/07/david-carradine-death-thailand-hanging-auto-erotica-sex-death/
Look at the bright side. The man was 74 years old and famous enough. He didn't die young and he apparently died doing what he enjoyed most.
