Hello. - My opinion - Cerebral Edema.
The facts of the case are this: Lee died after falling into a coma. The coroner's report was inconclusive, and medical authorities came up with five reasons for Lee's untimely death. However, they all agreed that it was caused by a cerebral edema (a swelling of the brain caused by a congestion of fluid).
But what caused the edema became a matter of speculation. For the most part, the course of events on that fateful July day in 1973 can be pieced together. According to Lee's wife, Linda, Bruce met film producer Raymond Chow at 2 p.m. at home to discuss the making of Game of Death.
They worked until 4 p.m., and then drove together to the home of Betty Tingpei, a Taiwanese actress who was to also have a leading role in the film. The three went over the script at Tingpei's home, and then Chow left to attend a dinner meeting.
A short time later, Lee complained of a headache and Tingpei gave him a tablet of Equagesic a kind of super sapirin. Apart from that, Lee reportedly consumed nothing but a couple of soft drinks.
At around 7:30 p.m., Lee lay down for a nap and was still asleep when Chow called to ask why he and Tingpei had not yet shown up for dinner as planned. The actress told Chow she could not wake Lee. The ensuing autopsy found traces of cannabis in Lee's stomach, but the significance of this discovery is debatable.
Some believe the cannabis caused a chemical reaction that led to the cerebral edema, but the coroner's inquiry refutes this theory. In fact, one doctor was quoted as saying that the cannabis being in Lee's stomach was "no more significant than if Bruce had drunk a cup of tea that day."
Dr. R.R. Lycette of Queen Elizabeth Hospital viewed Lee's death as a hypersensitivity to one or more of the compounds found in the headache tablet he consumed that afternoon. Although his skull showed no injury, his brain had swollen considerably, from 1,400 to 1,575 grams.
None of the blood vessels were blocked or broken, so the possibility of a hemorrhage was ruled out. All of Lee's internal organs were meticulously examined, and the only "foreign" substance to be found was the Equagesic.
Chow came to the apartment and could not wake Lee either. A doctor was summoned, and he spent 10 minutes attempting to revive the martial artist before sending him by ambulance to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. By the time he reached the hospital, Lee was dead .
Have a nice day. :)

Well it had something to do with a drug he had taken to help him with his head ache. Apparently he had a chemical reaction that caused swelling in his brain. Come to me if you have any other questions about Bruce Lee. I know it all.

Officially he died of some strange disease. Unofficially, I read his unfinished autobiography, According to him, he was grouping together a small force of the greatest martial artists to covertly eliminate crooked politicians. He said if he died suddenly, it would be at the hands of the government.

I think he was taken out. I saw a movie based on his life, and it seems he didn't get along with a certain crime organization.

First of all, it was tragic. Second, I think it was some kind of aneurysm in his brain, but I'm not sure.
