Kung fu movie legend David Carradine, who recently revamped his career in Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Kill Bill’ movies, has died at the age of 72.

Carradine was found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok, where he was set to shoot a new movie titled ‘Stretch.’ The Nation newspaper, citing Thai police sources, is reporting that Carradine was found hanged in his hotel closet and that it may have been a suicide. There’s been no other confirmation of that report so far, and Carradine’s agent told KABC that he believed the actor died of natural causes.

Thai police also told the BBC that Carradine was found by a hotel maid “with a rope around his neck and body.”

The Nation report claims that a preliminary police investigation found that Carradine hanged himself with a curtain cord, and that he was dead for at least 12 hours when he was found. The report also states that there were no signs of assault or foul play.

A rep for Carradine, however, tells TMZ that his camp “can confirm 100% that he never would have committed suicide. It was an accidental death. Everybody is in shock.”

Carradine’s manager, Chuck Binder, is calling the news “shocking.” He said that Carradine “was full of life, always wanting to work,” and that he was “a great person.”

Carradine’s career is a vast one, with over 200 movies and TV shows to his credit, including the hit ’70s show ‘Kung Fu’ and years later, more than 80 episodes of ‘Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.’ His breakout film role came in 1976, when he played Woody Guthrie in the biopic ‘Bound for Glory.’

Younger fans will likely know him as title character ‘Bill’ in Tarantino’s 2003-04 ‘Kill Bill’ movies, where he played the leader of a group of assassins and was eventually killed by one of his own disciples.

A month after her autopsy was performed and deemed inconclusive, the cause of Marilyn Chambers’ sudden death has come to light. RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that the adult film star died from a cerebral hemorrhage and aneurysm related to heart disease.

Chambers, whose real name was Marilyn Ann Taylor, was found dead at her Canyon Country, Calif., home on April 12. She skyrocketed to fame in 1972 as the star of the first widely released pornographic film Behind the Green Door.

Toxicology reports also indicated the presence of two drugs- hydrocodone and Citalopram- in normally prescribed amounts in her system. Hydrocodone is found in Vicodin among other drugs and is most commonly used as an analgesic and cough suppressant. Citalopram is an antidepressent used to treat depression, mood disorders, and anxiety.
