Just heard that this was an "apparent suicide" and that he hung himself in his hotel room. They also said that he spoke about suicide in the past.
That is sad, I hope he finds the piece he is looking for.

I think he was fighting cancer and in "deep despair". I liked his sense of humor. RIP indeed.
From the first reports of police comments, autoerotic asphyxiation gone too far.

AP said:BANGKOK — The body of American actor David Carradine, best known for the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu," was found in a hotel room closet with a rope tied to his neck and genitals, and his death may have been caused by accidental suffocation, Thai police said Friday.
The 72-year-old actor's body was discovered Thursday in his luxury suite at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. Police initially said they suspected suicide, though Carradine's associates had questioned that theory.
Police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha told reporters that Carradine was found with a rope tied around his genitals and another rope around his neck.
"The two ropes were tied together," he said. "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or he died of suffocation or heart failure."
Looks like it is not suicide

How the hell did this ever get to be considered a good idea?
"I'm going to choke myself until I get off. I bet that will feel good."
Well, as pilots we know that lack of O2 makes people high (similar to boozes or drugs?). Maybe it's the same idea once you get past the struggling part of it.
I guess I'm just really that square.
