They do have a tendency to go feet first in these situations don't they, i remember the reaction when Ledger was found dead.

So I've worked with David Carradine twice, both on the show Wild West Tech which he hosted for a while. Weird guy, but nice. We were never supposed to talk with him. Not cause he was a jerk, because he'd stop to chat with you and would be late to set. Dude LOVED to tell stories and shoot the shit. That last time I worked with him he was dressed as the grim reaper, I shit you not.
My producer friend who also worked on the show. I had dinner with him this weekend and he told us this story. After the news broke, he got a call on his cell phone. Some stranger had his number and was sobbing into the phone, asking if it was true about David. Finally he figured out what the call was about and told the dude that, yes, it seemed to be true. This guy blubbered for a while about how much he loved David, but hadn't seen him in years. My friend calmed him down a bit and explained he hadn't seen him in a few years either. He started to ask the guy how he got his number, and the dude says "I have to call Quentin Tarantino" and hangs up.
The next day my friend pulls the number off his phone and calls the guy back to ask him how the hell he had his number. Apparently he was on Carradine's emergency contact list! He was shocked. He used to talk with Carradine, hang out a bit on set, but that was it. Apparently he made an impression on him. He was on this list with a bunch of Hollywood big wigs like Tarantino. Crazy stuff.

That is odd. Especially given how many people David Carridine must have worked with on his 200 movies. In what way was he weird?

When my friend used to take him to lunch during ADR sessions he's bolt across Cahuenga Blvd without looking at traffic. He'd often dring two tumblers of brandy before eating in the middle of a work day. Wore weird clothes and lots of time brought guns and swords to set and played with them.
One time over lunch he told my friend his story about growing up, which consisted of running away to multiple family members who all worked on farms, and all beat him.

The first part of your reply dalmatianjaws is pretty standard for us Brits  But yeah he does seem a little out there. Also have you seen now that his family are claiming that he was assassinated by some secret martial arts clan because he was getting too close to finding out about them?!
