Bruce Lee, you know, came up with the 'Kung Fu' series and at the time he was unable to actually be on TV because of the stereotypes going on. So they actually got David Carradine. He did a great job with it. I'm really shocked, walking down Hollywood Boulevard today.\"\u003cbr/\u003e27. Close-up sympathy card\u003cbr/\u003e28. Pan down from flowers to star\u003cbr/\u003eThai authorities conducted an autopsy on Friday (05 JUNE 2009) on actor David Carradine, a cult star best known for the 1970s TV series 'Kung Fu,' and cited \"unusual circumstances\" in his death. \u003cbr/\u003eHis naked body was found hanging in a Bangkok hotel room.\u003cbr/\u003ePolice say that American actor David Carradine, a cult star best known for the 1970s TV series 'Kung Fu,' may have died from accidental suffocation, after authorities found him dead in a Bangkok hotel closet with a rope tied to his neck and genitals.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 72-year-old actor's body was discovered Thursday hanging in the closet of his luxury hotel room. \u003cbr/\u003ePolice initially said they were investigating a suspected suicide, though one of Carradine's managers questioned that theory.\u003cbr/\u003eStaff at the hotel, say they are cooperating with the police enquiry following the incident. \u003cbr/\u003eAn autopsy is being carried out at Chulalongkorn Hospital Bangkok \u003cbr/\u003eDirector of Forensics Department, Nanthana Sirisap said the cause of death is being investigated. \u003cbr/\u003e\"For this case, the police had reported to us that the cause of his death was not clear, so we can assume that his death is abnormal which by law, we have to perform an autopsy,\" he told reporters. \u003cbr/\u003eCarradine had flown to Thailand on 29 May to begin work on new movie 'Stretch' and was in \"good spirits\", his management company said.\u003cbr/\u003eHe had several other projects lined up after the action film, which was being directed by Charles De Meaux with Carradine in the lead.\u003cbr/\u003eCarradine appeared in more than 100 feature films with such directors as Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby. \u003cbr/\u003eOne of his early film roles was as folk singer Woody Guthrie in Ashby's 1976 biopic 'Bound for Glory'.\u003cbr/\u003eHowever, he was best known for 'Kung Fu', which aired from 1972-75.\u003cbr/\u003eCarradine, a martial arts practitioner himself, played Caine, an orphan who was raised by Shaolin monks and fled China after killing the emperor's nephew in retaliation for the murder of his kung fu master.\u003cbr/\u003ePursued by revenge assassins from China, Caine wanders the American West in search of his half-brother Danny. \u003cbr/\u003eHis conscience forces him to fight injustice wherever he encounters it, fuelled by flashbacks to his training in which his master famously refers to him as \"Grasshopper\". \u003cbr/\u003eCarradine left after three seasons, saying the show had started to repeat itself.\u003cbr/\u003eCarradine reprised the role in a mid-1980s TV movie and played Caine's grandson in the 1990s syndicated series 'Kung Fu: The Legend Continues'.\u003cbr/\u003eHe returned to the top in recent years as the title character in Quentin Tarantino's two-part saga 'Kill Bill'.\u003cbr/\u003eThe role brought Carradine a Golden Globe nomination as best supporting actor.\u003cbr/\u003eCarradine came from an acting family. \u003cbr/\u003eHis father, John, made a career playing creepy, eccentric characters in film and on stage. \u003cbr/\u003eHalf-brothers Keith, Robert and Bruce also became actors, and actress Martha Plimpton is Keith Carradine's daughter.\u003cbr/\u003eFans of the actor on Thursday paid their respects, placing flowers and tributes on his Hollywood Walk of Fame star.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
