BANGKOK - Much like the character that made him famous, David Carradine was always seeking, both spiritually and professionally, his life forever intertwined with the Shaolin priest he played in the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu." In fact Bruce Lee was one of the candidates under consideration for the cast for that TV series. This was one of the favourite TV programme on every Tuesday on Redifussion TV Hong Kong at that time.
Just as the character, Kwai Chang Caine, roamed the 19th Century American West, Carradine spent his latter years searching for the path to Hollywood stardom, accepting low-budget roles while pursuing interests in Asian herbs, exercise and philosophy, and making instructional videos on tai chi and other martial arts.
Carradine was found dead Thursday 4 June 2009 in Thailand. The 72-year-old actor appeared to have hanged himself in a suite at the luxury Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel, said Lt. Teerapop Luanseng, the officer responsible for investigating the death.
Police is still under investigation on the case, and I do hope David Carradine can rest peacefully and had his heart falls in calm and tranquility forever!
