Actor David Carradine, star of the 1970s US 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.
"He was found hanging by a rope in the room's closet," Lieutenant Colonel Pirom Jantrapirom of the Lumpini police station in Bangkok told Reuters.
Lori Binder, a representative for Carradine's Los Angeles-based talent manager, said the actor was in Thailand to shoot a film called "Stretch." She declined to give further details of his death while it was under investigation.
