Carradine Transmigrates


So David Carradine hung himself? That's messed up. I used to watch a lot of Kung Fu reruns when I was a kid, and I thought Carradine did a good job more recently in Tarantino's Kill Bill movies. Carradine had this way of sort of combining a sense of mystic, zen-like calm along with a more dangerous, edgy vibe.

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that the man has passed, and much more sorry to hear that it sounds like it was a suicide.

Here's to hoping the guy has somehow found some peace.

Turns out, of course, Carradine may not have hung himself. There's apparently been some suggestion that he was actually involved in an autoerotic asphyxiation game that went wrong. An embarrassing way to die, but not nearly the same thing as being so depressed that you kill yourself.
