I was watching a documentary on E! about the 13 most mysterious Death in Hollywood. Bruce Lee was on list 12.

It's a well know fact that he died in his sleep while shooting a movie in Hong Kong. However, some theorists claim that Bruce Lee was cursed

because he taught martial arts to the Westerners. This displeased the elders. This curse was also carried on to his son who was accidentally killed,

A foreshadowing of events to come occurred on May 10, 1973, when Lee collapsed in Golden Harvest studios while doing dubbing work for Enter the Dragon. Suffering from full-body seizures and cerebral edema, he was immediately rushed to Hong Kong Baptist Hospital where doctors were able to reduce the swelling through the administration of mannitol and revive him. These same symptoms that occurred in his first collapse were later repeated on the day of his death.[163]

On July 20, 1973, Lee was in Hong Kong, due to have dinner with former James Bond star George Lazenby, with whom he intended to make a film. According to Lee's wife Linda, Lee met producer Raymond Chow at 2 p.m. at home to discuss the making of the movie Game of Death. They worked until 4 p.m. and then drove together to the home of Lee's colleague Betty Ting, a Taiwanese actress. The three went over the script at Ting's home, and then Chow left to attend a dinner meeting.[citation needed]

A short time later, Lee complained of a headache, and Ting gave him an analgesic (painkiller), Equagesic, which contained both aspirin and a muscle relaxant. Around 7:30 p.m., he went to lie down for a nap. After Lee did not turn up for dinner, Chow came to the apartment but could not wake Lee up. A doctor was summoned, who spent ten minutes attempting to revive him before sending him by ambulance to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. However, Lee was dead by the time he reached the hospital. There was no visible external injury; however, his brain had swollen considerably, from 1,400 to 1,575 grams (a 13% increase). Lee was 32 years old. The only substance found during the autopsy was Equagesic. On October 15 2005, Chow stated in an interview that Lee died from a hypersensitivity to the muscle relaxant in Equagesic, which he described as a common ingredient in painkillers. When the doctors announced Lee's death officially, it was ruled a "death by misadventure."[citation needed]

Dr. Don Langford, who was Lee's personal physician in Hong Kong and had treated Lee during his first collapse, also believed that "Equagesic was not at all involved in Bruce's first collapse."[164] Professor R.D. Teare, who had overseen over 1000 autopsies, was the top expert assigned to the Lee case. His conclusion was that the death was caused by an acute cerebral edema due to a reaction to compounds present in the prescription pain killing drug Equagesic.[165] The preliminary opinion of the neurosurgeon who saved Lee's life in May, Peter Wu, was that the cause of death should have been attributed to either a reaction to cannabis OR Equagesic. However, Dr. Wu later backed off from this position:

"Professor Teare was a forensic scientist recommended by Scotland Yard; he was brought in as an expert on cannabis and we can't contradict his testimony. The dosage of cannabis is neither precise nor predictable, but I've never known of anyone dying simply from taking it."[164]

The exact details of Lee's death are still a subject of controversy.

His wife Linda returned to her home town of Seattle, and had him buried at lot 276 of Lakeview Cemetery. Pallbearers at his funeral on July 31, 1973 included Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Chuck Norris, George Lazenby, Dan Inosanto, Taky Kimura, Peter Chin, and his brother, Robert Lee.

His iconic status and untimely demise fed many theories about his death, including murder involving the Triad society[166] and a supposed curse on him and his family.

The curse theory was extended to his son Brandon Lee, also an actor, who died, 20 years after his father, in a bizarre accident while filming The Crow at the age of 28. It was released after his death and gained cult status, as had his father's last film. (The Crow was completed with the use of computer-generated imagery and a stunt double in the few but critical scenes that remained to be filmed.) Brandon Lee was buried beside his father.

It was some weird reaction to headache medicine

Well they said something about revealing the secrets of China to the west so the ancestors where angry with him

The price for world's entertainment (drugs) always drugs. They all died of drugs! drugs drugs drugs!.

But wait oooo Are you spiritually strong? I mean Christ Jesus is the solution.

Interesting post., Bruce Lee was amazing.

LOL~~when i saw the topic I thought it was a big joke.When I read "Bruce Lee" I was think "Jet Lee".I was thinking to myself I don't remember Jet lee dying.I did a small research and learned that Bruce and Jet are different people.

Anyway,RIP BRUCE~~~Where was I when he died?? I don't remember hearing this on the news??

lol, seriously, that's very funny

throttler:

curiosity killed him ,
ehen now, isnt he a cat that jumps from one roof or table to the other, so it must be curiosity that killed him, as it kills all cats.
that is what we call deductive reasoning .

on a serious note, i have watched his biography film, and cuoldnt tell what killed him, atleast from the point of view of his wife who authorized the film, pity he didnt live long enought to reap his celebrity status.

Funny.

Also heard that. That's the theory I'll run with.

Nways, whatever happened to him, I think it was something supernatural and out of the ordinary.
