Word is starting to spread through the Twittersphere that actor David Carradine of Bound for Glory, Kung Fu, Kill Bill and most recently Crank 2 fame has been found dead in a Bangkok hotel room. The apparent cause of death is hanging, and it looks like a suicide. So far this report in Thailand’s English-language newspaper The Nation is the only news story I can find on the matter; if it turns out there’s more to report I’ll add to this post. In the meantime, watch some memorable Carradine moments after the jump.

UPDATE: Fox News is reporting that Carradine’s death may have been an accident, and that his body was found with a rope “tied around his penis and another rope around his neck.”
