Hollywood was rocked with the news that David Carradine died, possibly by killing himself, yesterday. He was loved by a ton of celebs, including Vivica Fox, who got to know David and became really close to him while they were taping Kill Bill together. Vivica relfected a bit on David's life and her shock about his death.
His life: "I got to spend a lot of time with David when we were training for Kill Bill. Six months of training, eight hours a day. I remember when we would finish he'd have his tea and we'd have breakfast together. David told me stories that dated all the way back to the '60s and they were all fascinating. He taught me just to remain calm about life, not to get so riled up. He was just a very cool, calm and collected guy to be around. He said that came to him through kung fu and learning about the Chi and martial arts, centering yourself. He was amazing. I loved watching him act. Every day that I saw David was a joy.
His death: "I don't know what demons may have been battling him towards the end, but I would have never, ever thought that he would kill himself. I find that to be almost unbelievable that he hung himself. He did not seem like the person that would take his own life. It just seems so out of character. Never did I sense sadness, not even [depression]. David was very chi, calm. He barely even raised his voice. He loved to laugh, he loved his stories and I'm just shocked. Suicide, I just find that to be so unbelievable."
