Makes me wonder whom the third celebrity will be. These things tend to happen in threes it seems.

Definitely a shock, particularly how they found him. Really enjoyed several of his movies and Kung Fu.

Wow, that suuucks. Just watched him in Kill Bill 1+2 last weekend. Always enjoyed Kung-Fu, Kung-Fu: The Legend Continues and some of his other work. Too bad.

Kung-Fu is not dead. His spirit will live forever on!

It is a bummer to hear! I always enjoyed watching his show on TV when I was a kid. I even enjoyed watching the reruns now!

Godspeed, Kwai Chang Caine!

I think that was Keith Carradine... Or was there another show on History channel with Keith Carradine? *shrugs*

They both did it. Keith took over for David after season 1. Or did Davis take over for Keith? Either way, they both hosted it at one time or another.

haha, Davis took over Wild West Tech. Now THAT would be a show I would watch, always.

I will miss the charisma of acid-induced tai chi chuan as I watch such classics as Death Race 2000 and Dead and Breakfast.

Love some Kung-Fu. He will be missed, for certain.

Apparently the dude died from "erotic asphyxiation". So, yeah...

When they said that they found him hanging in a Thailand hotel room this is the first thing that popped in my mind. We've all got our problems...I judge not.

Erotic Asphyxia is NOT the way I would have thought to hear of in his passing. My kids didn't need to hear it either. They are now psychologically damaged.

Especially when one of them read about the two locations the rope was attached to.

The guy was 72. If he went out in erotic asphyxiation, he had some mad skills.

Who knows what to believe. The media.. ugh, and in Thailand it's probably worse.

Well, his publicist is only denying the possibility of suicide, and tongue in cheek implies that he would do only things to himself that he would enjoy.

Yeah, I don't know what to think of that whole thing. That's just kind of creepy and puts an image in my mind of him I really didn't need to have - especially now that he has passed.

Hmm, I expect that a lot of it is pure media speculation. Still, part of me can't help but think that if one has to go, one departing frame of mind vastly outmatches the other.

1- Having a fun time.

2- Despair so profound self-annihilation is the only apparent answer.

We're all human.

We'll miss you, David. Even through your wilderness years, we remembered you fondly.

Sad news.

I remember him being at GenCon one year, though after a day he got kicked out of the convention because he was drunk.
