This just broke a few minutes ago so not much is known yet, but what’s confirmed is that Kill Bill star David Carradine was found dead at the age of 73 in his hotel room in Bangkok.

Carradine, 73, was there to shoot a new movie, his agent said. His agent confirmed his death this morning, saying the actor had been in great spirits. He said he believed Carradine died of natural causes. [ABC7]

Hmmm… I don’t know if you can call it “natural causes” if the guy was still working and looked great the day before.  It sounds suspicious  My theory is that Bangkok Dangerous.  What, too soon?  Anyway, R.I.P., you magnificent bastard.  While you were a cinematic legend, my epitaph will read, “He couldn’t resist the easy jokes.”
