Death by "misadventure"
Bruce Lee's death was officially attributed to cerebral edema.
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, Bruce 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 Betty Ting Pei, a Taiwanese actress (claimed by some to be Lee's mistress) who was to have a leading role in the film. The three went over the script at her home, and then Chow left to attend a dinner meeting.
A short time later, Lee complained of a headache, and Ting Pei gave him a prescription analgesic known as Equagesic. At around 7:30 P.M., he lay down for a nap. After Lee didn't turn up for the 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 (13%). Lee was thirty-two years old. The medical staff examining him concluded that the immediate cause of death was a cerebral edema. Dr. R. R. Lycette of Queen Elizabeth Hospital determined that the swelling in the brain, and Lee's untimely death, was the result of an adverse reaction to one of the compounds in the prescription Equagesic tablet. The autopsy also revealed traces of cannabis in his body although doctors were certain it did not contribute to his death.[15] [16] On October 15, 2005, Chow stated in an interview that Lee was allergic to Equagesic. When the doctors announced Bruce Lee's death officially, it was pronounced Death by Misadventure.
However, the exact details of Lee's death were controversial from the moment it was announced. Bruce Lee's iconic status and unusual death at a young age led to several conspiracy theories about Lee's death, such as a murder involving Triads seeking protection money, vengeful rival martial artists, or other enemies like Chinese and American directors and producers — but none of these are supported by any evidence. His sudden death has since passed into the realm of legend, with one legend claiming that Lee faked his death, and will return when he has perfected his martial arts.

i'm no Bruce Lee specialist through any stretch of the mind's eye yet the following is a few issues that you would locate sensible... Bruce change into pals with and change into taught through William Cheung (i understand his significant instructor wasn't William). Bruce and William are both basic to were in touch interior the unlawful roof authentic fights in Hong Kong organised through the triads. Bruce and William both kicked an excellent variety of butt in those fights and it really is often theory that because of this Bruce had to flee Hong Kong. Bruce Lee wrote a letter to William retaining that William change right into a a concepts more beneficial ambitious fighter than himself and that he change into quite waiting to defeat him. Bruce Lee obtained a aspect 4 or 5 in Wing Chun even as the authentic aspect is aspect 10... Bruce Lee invented his personal form because he change into no longer licensed to study something of the gadget by using practise white human beings and the previous dishouner he presented upon the college mutually with his antics with reference to the triads. Bruce Lee change right into a movie huge call and under no circumstances the great fighter to ever stay, he change into an spectacular martial artist, even if he change into no longer then the most proper fighter and he change into no longer undefeated through any stretch of the mind's eye, anybody receives defeated as they arrive across straightforward approaches to wrestle.

I've read two biographies of Bruce Lee (Lee Jun-Faan). An autopsy found his brain was swollen and burst many blood vessels. He had used marijuana and took a pill that had painkiller and tranquilizer the autopsy showed. It is thought that he had a allergic reaction to this combination. One doctor said Bruce had seizures for which he had treated him. Perhaps that killed him or a combination of his natural problem with the injudicious use of drugs did it.

Apparently he had taken a pain killer and had an allergic reaction to this causing a brain haemorrage.
