Evidently there was no flashback to “Do not hang yourself Grasshopper!”

His father had lots of great roles and even played Dracula in Universal’s (1944) House of Frankenstein and (1945’s) House of Dracula.

FOX announcing it just now - weird cause they say according to his agent it was from “natural causes”...hmmmm..

Cutting off oxygen is pretty natural, no?

I hope it was of natural causes. Would like to believe that he died peacefully and not a suicide.

I took his deposition once for two days in the 1980’s. The guy was stark raving bonkers. He also had an aversion to paying his bills.

Too bad. I enjoyed him on “Wild West Tech”.

Yep, interesting show.

Dunno... BNONEWS still quoting thai police as saying suicide. Maybe his friend didn’t know or didn’t want to say that it was a suicide.

Except that he had demonstrated an interest in asian things through his iconic portrayal of Caine. There are many reasons to go to Thailand other than sex tourisn. Like shopping.

Carradine and Chuck Norris declined to use stuntmen in their final fight scene in 1983’s Lone Wolf McQuade.

That was mostly Keith, though David did some shows too, if I’m not mistaken.

This is horrible news......He was one of my favorite Hollywood martial artists next to Chuck Norris.

One of my all time favorite fight movies is “Lone Wolf McQuade.”

CNN reporting he died from the “Five Point Exploding Heart Palm Technique”, whatever that means.

Playing a drunk probaly wasn’t hard for him. His old man used to hang out at Channel Islands Marina before he died and most people who knew him said they never saw him sober.

Watched his father in STAGECOACH the other night. Did a movie with Keith. If David was as nice a guy as Keith then he was a pretty good buy.

RIP, David.

Norris didn’t need a stuntman.
But, according to Norris and choreographers on the set, Carradine could have used one.

Norris once said that Carradine was repeatedly unable to hit his marks and was delivering sloppy kicks that would have connected. IIRC, his remarks showed that Norris had little regard for Carradine’s ability or professionalism.
