David Carradine played the starring role in the 1970′s Kung Fu TV series, It was one of my favorite shows that I regularly watched. A while back I rented the entire series and watched them again just to introduce some old school stuff to my kids, unfortunately it could not hold their attention for long, it’s a shame cause I loved it as a kid.

David Carradine was 73 and it appears from the first news reports that came in that he died of natural causes, but now news agencies are reporting that he was believed to have committed suicide by hanging himself in his hotel room. Either way it is still sad to see him pass.

There is a lot of information about David Carradine and the all time popular TV series that he starred in on the wikipedia page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_(TV_series)
