It's like old times at BWW! There was a time when no celebrity death was unannounced by Goth, Broadwayworld's own Angel of Death.

Apparently there was an earlier report saying that he was found half-naked. I wonder if maybe erotic asphyxiation was involved? Either way, how sad.

Very sad news. Why David Carradine and not Dick Cheney?

Naked, half naked...

We know what he was doing.



Michael Hutchence, anyone?


What a shame. He was my favorite non-Asian Asian.

Diva beat me to it, but it does sound like a Michael Hutchence situation. Very sad.

"Half naked" could also describe most of the criminals on "Cops". Some folks just don't like wearing shirts.

What's really outrageous is that Carradine was asked to play Asian again in the latest Crank movie. You know, the one released this year. Yellowface is alive and well.

That said, RIP, Mr. Carradine.

He was "accidentally hanged."

But at least his teeth were bucked, in keeping with tradition, Plum. God that movie sucked anus.

"He was discovered yesterday by a chambermaid hanging naked in a wardrobe with a cord around his neck and genitals. The circumstances surrounding the death shocked family and friends, who said Carradine showed no signs that he was likely to commit suicide. "

Well, considering the cord was around his neck AND genitals, why would they think it was suicide?

RIP, I thought he was wonderful.
Poor Martha Plimptom, first time she is nominated for a Best Featured Actress in a Musical category at the Tonys and she probably won't be able to attend. My thoughts are with her and the rest of David's family.

Binder said a producer of the movie, "Stretch," which Carradine was to act in, called him from Thailand to tell him what was happening there.

"I do not want to get in the middle of this whole investigation, but this guy said to me for sure there was foul play," Binder said.

A producer who was on location with Carradine would, probably, know if he'd been seen with anyone or if something was amiss. I wouldn't be shocked if it came out that someone else had been in the room with him but panicked and ran.

The man caused untold ( well SOME was told) emotional/psychological/physical suffering here when he shot KF:TLR. That being said, this behavior ( auto erotic) would be a new twist for him- in almost 5 yrs here in TO I never heard of this behavior. Either it was new ( and he wasn't very good @ it) or something fishy is going on.

Martha Plimpton IS at the Tonys and smiling for the cameras.
