stewart Seattle, WA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #9 Jun 4, 2009 Judged: 6 3 2 He went over to film a movie-was staying in a nice hotel- Just doesnt sound like the plight of someone who was going to kill themselves. Plus-isnt martial arts all about discipline? Wouldnt suicide go against every discipline that he had learned? This doesnt make sense to me-I agree with dems too crazy-I think he was murdered-pissed someone off in the orient and they waited until he came around.

Medicine Bow Jacksonville, NC	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #13 Jun 4, 2009 Judged: 4 3 3 This story has the ring of untruth.The kung fu man would never hang himself. Hari Kari maybe, but hanging. This guy had too much to live for not to mention all the money anyone could ever want. And i'm sure he was smart enough to know there were easier ways to go. It was MURDER I say.

The way Topix works is they cite a news article. We then read the article and discuss it. So if you read the article many of your questions will be answered.

It was MURDER I say. harikari a ritual form of seppuku (Japanese for suicide) is very painful and only done if a warrior has done a crime, or failed his Master. It involves plunging a knife into your abdomen then pulling the knife horizontally, slicing your intestines open and dying slowly from blood loss. So I can forgive him for choosing an easier way.

Now A Former Buddhist Waukegan, IL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #18 Jun 4, 2009 Judged: 3 1 1 Buddhism has also left me empty and void of meaning. I found no peace and tranquility in it. Buddhism was a complete waste of time. It obviously didn't do David Carradine any either. I wish his family well.
The Scooter Tempe, AZ	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #19 Jun 4, 2009 Judged: 3 1 a very good, if under utilized actor. the Kung Fu series was the template for an entire genre of films and TV. his portrayal of Woody Guthrie in "Glory Road" was deserving of an Oscar. sadly he will Be missed. rest easy Sonny Jim.
mr mojo risin “Obama said the USA is "one ” Since: Mar 08 2,863 nation under Allah"? PROVE IT!	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #20 Jun 4, 2009 Judged: 6 5 3 Maybe he was doing that auto-erotic masturbation thing where you strangle yourself to make it more intense? Several people have died accidently doing that. Or maybe at his age he was having some physical ailments or had some health issues that he just didnt want to suffer with any more. His dad had crippling arthritis maybe David was suffering from this? Too bad whatever happened .He was cool and so was "Kung Fu".
