David Carradine’s third ex-wife, Gail Jensen Carradine, has died after a long bout with alcohol-related health issues, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Jensen, 60, passed away late last week in a Fresno County, California, hospital after falling and hitting her head.
“She had gone into the hospital because of problems with her kidneys. She was retaining fluid,” Jensen’s mother Patricia, told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “On the third day, she tried to get up and fell and hit her head. It put her in a coma and after a day and a half, she died.”
Jensen was married to Kung Fu star David Carradine for 11 years and was his third wife. Following his death last year, Jensen revealed exclusively to RadarOnline.com her ex-husband’s taste for kinky, auto-erotic sex and his hanging death in a hotel room in Thailand has been linked to an auto-erotic sex act.
Gail’s mom Patricia told RadarOnline.com that in later years her daughter suffered from severe alcoholism which kept her in and out of the hospital.
