Funeral: ‘Kung Fu’ Legend David Carradine
Actor David Carradine’s funeral service saw more than 400 guests attend, according to the Los Angeles Times. The service, held yesterday, took place at the Hall of Liberty at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, the cemetery adjacent to Griffith Park. The funeral was not open to the public.
As such, the two-hour funeral service was attended by Carradine’s family, friends, and co-stars as well as many other actors, some of which included Jane Seymour, Tom Selleck, Lucy Liu, Rob Schneider, and James Cromwell.
Last week, Carradine was discovered dead in Bangkok, reportedly there to begin filming a new movie. He was found hanging in a hotel room, a rope around his neck, wrists, and genitals. Authorities are currently ruling out suicide as a possibility and favoring the incident as an accident occuring as part of a sex game; however, the investigation has not been concluded.
Carradine was, perhaps, best known for his work on “Kung Fu,” a television series which aired from 1972-75. Carradine also appeared in more than 100 feature films, including a recent title role in Quentin Tarantino’s two-part saga “Kill Bill.”
