I remember David Carradine from the Kung Fu series in the 70's. What a great actor! He had a great sense of humanity, and with that great emotional, mental, & spiritual insights. I've always admired him... what a sad loss. My thoughts & prayers are with his family.

I do not believe that D.C would leave the USA to commit 'suicide' and certainly not w/o a goodbye letter and by 'strangulation w/curtain cords!! Ppaahhlleessee----Sell it to someone who's buying! I'm not! Unless he was pulling a 'Grey Fox' (Richard Farnsworth) or a Brian Keith I do not see this as a suicide-his children & family just would not inherit financially or otherwise.If he is 'dead' god bless him & his family-Bless them all even if he is alive...If it was 'concluded' as -suicide- I will categorize that as 'murder' whether or not if looks that way..... I have watched his acting career and his whole family my entire life. I really enjoyed watching all his shows especially "Wild West Tech" with his brother Keith on Saturday mornings on the History channel.My husband & I will miss him. George & Renee Sarris

What a strange article to read! Why would he hang himself and suffer such a painful and slow death? There was no rumor of terminal illness or anything that would have led up to such a thing. My condolences to his family and his memory.
