The US star was in Thailand filming his latest film, Stretch, according to his personal manager Chuck Binder.
Mr Binder said the news was “shocking”, adding: “He was full of life, always wanting to work… a great person.”
Police said the actor‘s body was found in a suite at the 5-star Swissotel Nai Lert Park hotel.
A US embassy official confirmed the actor‘s death, but added that the cause of death had not yet been established.
However, Thai newspaper The Nation reported that police believe the actor took his own life, and preliminary investigations found that he hanged himself.
Carradine was part of an acting dynasty which included his father, John Carradine, and brothers Bruce, Keith and Robert. The star was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s TV series Kung Fu, that has sequels in the ‘80s and ‘90s.
