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 laid 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."

Ting Pei (a Taiwanese actress claimed by some to be Lee's mistress who was to have a leading role in the film) gave him a prescription analgesic known as Equagesic.
At around 7:30 P.M., he laid 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 32 years old. The medical staff examining him concluded that the immediate cause of death was Cerebral Edema.

I believe Bruce Lee took a headache tablet that he was allergic to (It had to be poisoning.) It was told that his brain increased in size or swelled up from 1,400 to 1,575 grams, which is very fatal. 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 an Equagesic (A combined aspirin and muscle relaxant.)
I do not believe that Brenda Lee would have the gumption of killing her husband, even if he cheated. Those two were inseperable.

It had nothing to do with his wife. After partially filming "Game of Death," one of the actresses invited him to her house. There, he ate something that he was highly allergic to, but she didn't know that and she didn't have the medication to cure it, so he died. Don't believe anything that people give you concerning assassinations, ninjas, or fighting, because that's all made up. However, I question whether or not it was set up because Lee made many Triad members angry because he refused to pay protection money for his movies, which isn't an uncommon thing Triad members ask for.
By the way, it was Bruce's son that was killed on stage by switching bullets, not he.

The coroner ruled that Lee died of a brain edema (accumulation of fluid and swelling) caused by an abnormal reaction to painkillers he had been prescribed for back pain... His son, Brandon Lee, was killed by a bullet accidentally fired from a prop gun while making the movie The Crow in 1993.

Bruce Lee's death was officially attributed to cerebral edema.
Cerebral edema is an excess accumulation of water in the intra- and/or extracellular spaces of the brain. Edema can occur as the result of many things, including head injury, allergic reaction, stroke, acute liver disease, cardiac arrest or from the lack of proper altitude acclimatization.
Symptoms of cerebral edema include headaches, decreased level of consciousness, loss of eyesight, hallucinations, psychotic behavior, memory loss and coma. If left untreated, it can lead to death - Bruce Lee's death is a famous example.

Bruce Lee died of a mysterious disease while shooting the movie "Enter the Dragon".
Some say he died because he revealed too much about the secrets of Kung Fu
But up to this day no one exactly knows the cause of his death only speculations from his followers.
His death is also connected to his son's short life (Brandon Lee)
while shooting his "death" scene (ironic isn't it?) in the movie "the Crow" he got shot by real bullets. The crew thinking he was only acting found out too late that he was really dead.
They say the death of Bruce Lee's son is called a curse because of Bruce Lee's revelation of ancient teachings and techniques of Kung Fu (this angered the elders as a consequence cast a curse not only to Bruce but also to his male descendants)

Simple accident. He was doing exercises with a barbell behind his neck, bending forward. He lost his balence, fell forwards, and suffer head trama of some type. Like most famous people there were rumors of all types floating around after he died, I don't know, I wasn't there. Chow

I am pretty sure he fell off of a scafel(not sure on that spelling) while filming his last film, I know that when his son died filming "THE CROW" they said that he had followed the family curse and that there deaths were almost exactly the same.
