"Kung Fu" and "Kill Bill" actor David Carradine was found dead today in Bangkok/

Carradine, who was 72, is known for his role in Quentin Tarantino's two part series "Kill Bill," where he starred opposite Uma Thurman in 2003 and 2004.

A spokesman for the United States Embassy says Carradine's body was found in his hotel room where he was staying while filming a new movie.

He says Carradine died either late yesterday or early today and provided no other details.

One newspaper is reporting his death as a suicide and that he was found hanged.

Carradine is perhaps best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970's television drama "Kung Fu."
