His agent confirms actor David Carradine was found dead yesterday in a Bangkok hotel.
The agent told a New York City TV station that Carradine was in Bangkok shooting a movie and that he believes Carradine died of natural causes. He was 73 years old.
Carradine was born John Arthur Carradine in Hollywood, California. He is the brother of Bruce Carradine and half-brother of Keith and Robert Carradine, as well as the uncle of Ever Carradine and Martha Plimpton.
Carradine studied drama at San Francisco State University before working as an actor on stage as well as in television and cinema. He changed his given name to David after starting his career.
Carradine is known for his roles as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s television series "Kung Fu" and as Bill in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill", Vols. 1 & 2.
Carradine had no knowledge of martial arts prior to starring in the series "Kung Fu", but developed an interest in it after this experience and has since become an avid practitioner.
Carradine was married.
