Prayers for him, his family, and all those who enjoyed him in his various parts through a colorful career. 'Bye Grasshopper. Sleep well.

I hope it's not suicide...

Wow. Pretty surprising. And possibly suicide.

Sad news.

“It said a preliminary police investigation found that he had hanged himself with a cord used with the room’s curtains. It cited police as saying he had been dead at least 12 hours and there was no sign that he had been assaulted.”

“Found dead in a Thailand motel” - that scenario is never going to be benign. RIP - he created some unforgettable work.

"Goodbye old man...my master."

"What do you hear?"

"I hear the grasshopper".

RIP, Kwai Chang.

I used to hang out at a Sunset strip place where David’s dad held court. I could spend hours nursing a drink and listening to him tell show biz stories. He had a difficult final decade, David may have inherited some of that.

I don’t think that I have ever seen an actor adopt the persona of one of his /her characters and become that role the rest of their lives. Interesting dude, strange but interesting.

For the Actor who brought to life so many roles, including My favourite as Kwai Chang Caine... you will be missed.

For the few of us who remember his drug-addled rage episodes (not the least of which being his trashing of a neighbors house) which brought down anger, dishonor, and ridicule to the Martial Arts community... you never did fully atone for what you had done.

For the man... as a Christian, I pray that you finally find your peace, and forgiveness in the eyes of our saviour.

Amen.

Enjoyed his performance as Bill. When Black Mamba demonstrated the 5-finger kill technique he never accomplished and she never told him, he looked hurt as well as surprised. I almost felt sorry for him then.
