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, 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 mistress Betty Ting Pei, a Taiwanese actress 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 an analgesic. At around 7:30 P.M., he lay down for a nap. After Lee did not 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. 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 coined as "Death by Misadventure."
However, the exact details of Lee's death are controversial. Bruce Lee's iconic status and unusual death at a young age led many people to develop many theories about Lee's death, such as a murder involving Triads, gangsters, ninjas, and so on — none of these have ever been proven.

Bruce Lee died of a mysterious loss of life. some say he died of a recommendations aneurysm through fights get gets into and getting hit on the pinnacle alot. His scholars and buddies say Bruce do not even get hit in a combat through his professional skills of intercepting fist. some say he died from a reaction taking from the tablets he took his chum ting pei. in case you watch his autobiography action picture, Bruce replaced into continuously telling human beings he fears his existence could end quickly through fact he broke the chinese language custom to instruct martial arts exterior the bloodline and he replaced into seeing demons on action picture units and he additionally dream of a demon telling him he would be cursed and his son will die too. so as a typical asian guy i've got faith he replaced into cursed and no dr or papers will tutor so this is purely my concept.

Not hardly. Bruce died due to swelling of the brain, aka cerebral edema. Which sucks big time since he was in his prime, and had so much to offer in the martial arts world. Sh*t happens!
