Grasshopper Death Wish in Hotel

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Carradine, 72, was found dead by a maid at the Park Nai Lert Hotel in Bangkok on Thursday morning. He was in the city to shoot his latest film, called Stretch. Thai police said the actor had a curtain cord around his neck.
A US Embassy spokesman confirmed that Carradine had died either late Wednesday night or in the early hours of Thursday. He declined to comment on the circumstances of the death.


In a 2004 interview which may have foretold his death, Carradine said: "I remember one time sitting in the window of the third or fourth floor of the Plaza Hotel for about an hour, thinking about just tipping off. And that was at a time when I was having more fun than you could imagine.
"I just thought, 'Who the ---- cares, man? Why don't I just split?' Of course I didn't, so there you go."

Yeah, I just read about it. What a downer. Kinda makes you wonder don't it? Apparently you don't have to be depressed to commit suicide, or at least think about it. Who knows what was going on in his head.

[CGM]

Subsequent information suggests it was maybe not suicide, but some sort of sexual adventure gone awry.

If true, on some level, I feel much better about it.
