Rest in Peace Grasshopper :(

died in Bangkok

I just watched Q yesterday for the first time, and he was a detective in that.
Weeeeeeeeird.

RIP.

RIP
how old was he?

I think 72

72... why would you just take your life at that age? : /

Maybe it's like with Hunter S. Thompson... bored. ("No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax — This won't hurt.")

Still... he was JUST IN Crank 2 (and was awesome in it). This sucks.

Wow, look at all these movies he was just in or were coming out:

1. Portland (2009) (pre-production) .... Jerry
2. Night of the Templar (2009) (post-production) .... Shopkeeper
3. Money to Burn (2009) (post-production)
4. Six Days in Paradise (2009) (post-production) .... Vernon Billings
5. Su Qi-Er (2009) (post-production)
   ... aka True Legend (International: English title)
6. The Rain Chronicles (2009) (post-production) .... Clive Jonis
7. Detention (2009) (post-production) .... Principle Hoskins
8. Autumn (2009) .... Philip
9. "Mental" (2009) TV series .... Gideon (unknown episodes)
10. Break (2009/I) .... The Bishop
11. Crank: High Voltage (2009) .... Poon Dong
    ... aka Crank 2 (USA: alternative title)
12. Bad Cop (2009) (V) .... Det. Humes
13. Absolute Evil (2009) .... Raf McCane
14. Road of No Return (2009) .... Mr. Hover

!!!!

So...... hmm. We can rule out "money troubles" as a cause of suicide...

Fucked up.

the suicide stuff is just rumours.

he wa filming a movie and they went to find him and he was dead in his room, no foul play, no robbery or nothing. lots can kill a 72 year old.

wow. that is weird.

What? Man, that's just sad.

I heard he broke Rob Schneider's finger on the new movie.

Maybe Rob Schneider killed him.

if only he had killed rob schneider.

I was still holding onto hope for Roadside Prophets: 2.

good night, sensei.

:(

really shocked about this. i remember him from death race 2000 a classic in its own right. RIP.

No fucking way. :(

Rest In Peace, Herr Carradine. You will be missed :(

Liked him allot in the old school Kung Fung re-runs that where here.

R.i.p

R.I.P.

latest word, unconfirmed, is that he was found having hung himself.

why the fuck would a 72 year old hang themself?

dude...you've only got a little bit further to go!

maybe he was masturbating...

maybe, if they found a lemon in his mouth then for sure.

although I consider myself an expert, I have no earthly clue how a lemon would help.

am I being dense right now or is this some new wanking method that I'm not privy to?

:( :( :( :(

people into the whole auto erotic asphyxsiacian put a lemon in the mouth so that they dont black out. at the moment they start to go under they bite on the lemon, or as a reflex action and the shock of it is supposed to jolt them back from the brink. it doesnt always work though.

Ok, I just checked and his character's name in Crank: High Voltage was Poon Dong (no joke), so this is why he is dead, I'm sure of it.

it's official. he hung himself with a nylon rope taken from the curtains in his hotel room. he hung himself in the closet.

hop he took a doodoo before hand, cuz when you die yr bowels release all contents.

^^^ looks like this was the case.

they are now saying that as well as his neck, he had the cord around "other parts of his body".

on a related note, I met one of my best friends at a funeral for someone who hung themselves wanking. I'm goth like that.

So he goes from Kung Fu to Cum Goo?

......


I'll get me coat.

the wrapping around other parts of his body happens as the suicide flails about, twisting and turning and such.

autoerotic asphyxiation does not wrap a cord around the body does it?

R.I.P.

maybe he was just mentally drained from dealing with rob schneider?

Wasn't he a Buddist in real-life or am I just thinking that cause of those stupid commericals he did? Just practice tantric sex, just as silly and less death risk.

Yes, this has been on the news.

Why is is always such a shock when celebs die when people everywhere die every day, often for horrible reasons, like the war in Iraq?

I had nearly forgotten Dead Race which was fun.

Thanks for letting me know so much more on lemon, it makes the news rather cool. Had it been Keith, I'd have shaken my head in affliction.

Last year Heath Ledger died while shooting a movie.
And years ago Jack Nance, that wasn't natural either but no suicide (oh and you should read what's said about the loss of his wife in wikipedia).

Taking the chance that you are going to off yrself just to get off????

People never cease to amaze me.

bill killed?

The guy was like 70....from what I've heard...it's pretty hard to get off at that age. You're almost dead....so hey...why not?

for being 72, he sure as hell didn't strike me as being almost dead.

Ditto, I thought he'd outlive us all.
