David Carradine is dead.

He was found sometime Thursday in his hotel room in Thailand, after hanging himself. He'll probably be most remembered for his role as Caine in Kung Fu, but it's his role as Frankenstein in Death Race 2000 that I'll always remember him for. Very sad news.

Of course I remember him very much as Caine, since my dad was so obsessed with the show.

So very, very sad to go that way.

The fact that it was suicide is what makes it most sad (and that it was in some foreign hotel rather than at home makes it seem eve worse, for some reason). I do remember that your dad loved the show.
