David Carradine, the star of the 1970s TV series Kung Fu and the Kill Bill films, has been found dead in a Bangkok hotel room.
The 72-year-old was in Thailand filming his latest film Stretch, according to his personal manager, Chuck Binder.
Police have told the BBC that Carradine was found in a hotel wardrobe with a cord around his neck and other parts of his body. This supports initial claims in the Thai press that Carradine had hanged himself.
