Actor David Carradine (December 8, 1936 ) has passed away on June 4th 2009 in a hotel room in Bangkok. The cause of death is, at this moment, still unknown, though some sources claim he has hanged himself.

The actor got famous again recently for playing Bill in Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 1 & Vol. 2.

Wikipedia states: Carradine was known for his roles as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s television series Kung Fu (as well as the sequels in the 1980s and 1990s), as well as ‘Big’ Bill Shelly in Martin Scorsese’s Boxcar Bertha (1972), folksinger Woody Guthrie in Bound for Glory (1976) and Abel Rosenberg in Ingmar Bergman’s The Serpent’s Egg (1977).

Rest in peace, David.
