Noooooooo!

I just can't believe this:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31103217/
It says that David Carradine committed suicide. They found his body in his hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand. He was there working on a movie.

I'm sorry, but I think the Thai police are covering something up. He was working, was staying at a luxury hotel...he loved his work and he seemed to have been in a good place in his life. I can't see why he'd kill himself. It just seems so wrong.

In any case, my heart just aches. He was a part of my first real online fandom, Kung Fu The Legend Continues. I've always thought he was a brilliant actor, very underrated. He acted the way Astaire danced...effortlessly. He certainly had his share of troubles in his life and I hope he's found peace. I'm sure Kim was there to show him the way to the light.



Rest in Peace, David

I can't believe it either, Amy. I can't see him killing himself.

Alisa put up a site for lighting a candle. I am going to put it on my LJ

It's a terrible loss. I thought of you instantly when I saw it. :(

My gosh--I'm really shocked too. I'm so sorry.

And then there are some reports saying it was natural causes. I think right now too many people are still in shock to dig too deeply, but hopefully soon more details will surface.

you were my first thought when i heard the news. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{delph}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

honestly, i'm wondering if maybe he was sick. i was trying to figure out WHY - and all i could come up with was if he were sick, if it was something bad and painful with no hopeful prognosis. then i can see a man like him (or at least who i understood him to be from interviews and such) deciding to go on his own terms.

it's just terrible.

he will be missed.

I heard he died but I didn't hear it was suicide.

Sad...

Have you seen this? The last official statement I heard was that they're now calling it accidental, the result of auto-erotic asphyxiation gone awry, but the family is pressing for a full investigation. They do seem now to be ruling out suicide.
