A childhood hero of mine and pretty darn good actor too.

That is what I reading all over the place, but look at this:

They guy has been busy as hell, and has seven movies in post-production.
Seems odd an actor is that kind of demand would be that depressed.

I think they need to bring Uma Thurman in for questioning.

i don't know if it was suicide/depression or auto-erotic asphyxiation gone wrong. either way, it's a shame, he always played pretty cool characters.

I had a crush on him when I was a kid. I never missed an episode of Kung Fu.

Should have stuck to Kung Fu Grasshopper

While filming for a movie called "Stretch".

Edit: I wonder at what point he realized he was in trouble and realized that he was going to be found dead with his balls tied up.

I can't imagine the demons that must have been chasing him to cause this. He'd been on the upswing since October 10, 2003. It seemed like he had it all going his way.

He had is demons but this was auto-erotic asphyxiation.

This just sucks I think he would have been a cool skydiver

You've brought this up twice. Why?

We've all read the news reports.

It's a sad day for those of us who grew up with him. Have some respect. Details are not necessary.

Be yourself!
MooOOooOoo

Sure. I was responding to Quade's post.

Hella good guy. Not the way I wanna go.

Head-first for me.

Kung Fu, the original series, is my favorite television show of all time.

An article about a former interview with Carradine. Physical damage to his genitals could explain the need to asphyxiate in order to achieve an erection:

Your 1995 autobiography Endless Highway is a hugely entertaining read. At one point you describe being pecked in the balls by a parrot, Then, on another occasion, a huge dog bites your penis. What is the appeal of the Carradine nether regions to the animal kingdom?
Fortunately, it was just a gesture on the dog’s part. He wasn’t really trying to bite it off, he was just trying to show me who’s boss.

And then you punched him?
Yeah.

There just seems to be a bit of a theme with animals and your unmentionables.
Well, twice in 66 years…. But part of that I think is the fact I’ve spent a lot of time in a lot of dangerous positions and situations. I don’t know if you’ve gotten that far in the book, but I had my nether regions blown up on a set once.

I was going to ask about that. You shot yourself in the groin?
Yeah, I shot myself. But another time when I was standing on top of a movie explosion and it went off. It hurt. It hurt for a while.
