"Kung Fu" actor David Carradine found hanged in Thai hotel

BANGKOK/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor David Carradine, star of the 1970s U.S. television show "Kung Fu," was found naked and hanging dead from a rope in the closet of his luxury Bangkok hotel room on Thursday, Thai police said. No signs were found of other people in the room and the body of the 72-year-old actor was sent to a hospital for an autopsy, police said.

Having read a few more details, I fear he may have become the latest victim of Hutchence's Law:

As expected, the Wikipedia has a fairly comprehensive summary regarding reports concerning David Carradine's death.

The same officer said: "Under these circumstances we cannot be sure that he committed suicide but he may have died from masturbation."
It may have been a translation or the cop might not be too good with English, but that could have been phrased somewhat better, I thought.
