He hasn't played that part for what, over 30 years? Could be part of the reason why he hung himself? I hope they find some kind foul play because I don't have much sympathy for people who commit suicide.

[Carl Beck]

Nor do they need your sympathy.

Nonetheless it is kind of an odd preference ie. murder over suicide...

FWIW,

I mean the dude seemed like a really cool cat.

It's hard to see someone who was known for his "philosophical" thoughts on

Kung Fu and life in general be that upset over something.

I'm thinking maybe he had some sort of cancer or illness he was

fighting which we didn't know about, like the judge in Hardcore and Mckormic.

Ummm...he was an actor...he only played a mystical kung fu master...

Would be interesting to know what motivated the suicide...Bangkok is a very interesting city...all kinds of wierdness...

[Stickerman]

They are reporting it as a sex act gone bad.... hung himself while masturbating, not the way I would want to be remembered...

[overdrivex]

maybe he hooked up with a Thai woMAN and got taken advantage of. he couldnt live with the shame and hung himself. that bad i know but i could not resist. him committing suicide doesnt make to much sense cause he was there for a movie.i mean he was 71... he was already on the road to deaths door why not just ride it till the end.

I don't remember David having anything related to a Z. It's sad to have ended a long and prosperous life that way. I do remember in the first Kill Bill he drove a dark grey Detomaso Mangusta. I guess it was something Quinton Tarrentino thought was cool and unique for the movie.

Carl, i was going to say 'you know that's not what I meant' but I know how the written word can be. Preference??? The story that is emerging is even more odd.

Stephen,

Ironicly your comment brings a different light to the franchise: Who killed Bill.

Certianly a more recent part...

Hi Stephen:

Yes - I knew. My reply was tongue-in-cheek.

Agreed - the story that is emerging is even more odd... but some of the comments to this thread are twisted to say the least.... funny as heck.. but twisted...

FWIW,

Carl B.

well, he did have 221 other listings on imdb so it wasn't for lack of work.
