The article I posted stated he was found with a rope around his neck and body. (click where it says "read more")
2-3 others I read stated it appeared to be an apparent suicide and no foul play was initially suspected. |

| I enjoyed his hosting roll in those Tech-West presentations on the History Chanel. I'll bet Bruce Lee's ghost isn't crying over this, however. He was supposed to get the roll that made Carradine in the TV series.

His brother, Keith Carradine, was the other host of Wild West Tech. I think they went half and half on that one. |
