Bruce Lee

[early_m]

How did he die?

Heart attack. Brought on by a combination of ancient curses and/or exotic poisons administered by the high priests of a secretive mystical cult whose centuries-old highly-prized martial-arts secrets Bruce had wrongly exposed to the world by allowing them to be filmed. Allegedly.

The sudden death of bruce Lee, in view of his peak physical condition, has given rise to a raft of rumours, including the notion that he was cursed by ancient Japanese gods who felt mocked by his use of Kung Fu in western feature films. The myths were heightened by the accidental death of his son Brandon who died on a film set when wounded by a point blank shot from a stage pistol. The reality is more likely that Bruce Lee died of a simple heart attack or aneurism, and his son died as a result of a tragic accident, and the two are linked by nothing more than coincidence.

NO no no , apparently his body was so pure and drug free that he died of an overdose of a single asprin, and that's from a reliable source, my window cleaner is very knowledgable you know

Seven years ago I met the man who was British High Commisioner in Hong Kong at the time of Bruce Lee's death. I asked him this same question, and he smiled and wouldn't tell me... a cover up? trying to be mysterious I guess, either that or he didn't know either. Anyway, the official report is that Lee died of a cerebral edema, probably brought on by an allergy to marijuana, traces of which were found in his body at post-mortem.
