Thank you taimur for your wikpedia answer to bruce lees brain edema. I believe you want to know what killed bruce lee, am i right? Bruce lee was was trying to set a speed record with his nun chucks. Contact was made with each one, and he hit himself in the head causing his brain edema. He was killed pretty much instantly

No! No! No! Nothing to do with nunchucks and he wasn't shot accidentally (that was his son Brandon Lee on the set of The Crow)! He had complained of a headache before a dinner date and was given an aspirin-type analgesic. He didn't show up for the meal and when they attempted to wake him he was in a deep coma; pronounced dead on arrival at hospital. There was indeed a brain oedema (correct spelling people!); they found tiny traces of cannabis in his system but the coroner ruled it was as significant as if he'd had a 'cup of tea' in his system. His death was recorded as misadventure as they could not decide exactly what caused the oedema and in turn his death - it may even have been a reaction to the analgesic. So - not dramatic, not exciting, not suspicious, just a very sad loss of a very young, talented man.

Where did you get this information from, this is totally untrue! Bruce died from a drug overdose.

The actor, martial artist, Bruce Lee was reported to have massive swelling on at least one side of his head. This suggests severe trauma such as severe blows and beating about the head, or even possibly, a microwave type weapon focused and aimed at his head-neck area. Be realistic in your thinking. Just smoking herb doesn't cause that kind of head trauma. Microwave weapons, even makeshift ones, have existed long before the seventies when he died...or was killed.

I agree with guy above me, it seems a swollen brain is the cause. Although it was a bit stronger than a regular aspirin, and he stated before that he was allergic to said dug...make your own conclusions, i have no idea, i looked it up cause i heard his teachers' helpers killed him for spilling a hidden art. Which is def. Possible. I'd really like to know, but probably won't ever, too bad...

Please stop leaving false and untrue statements! I have been researching Bruce Lee's cause of death for many years and he simply died from a drug overdose.

He did have swelling in the head. It was caused by a allergic reaction to aspirin. He died in his sleep. Still to this date, people blame his wife for the murder of Lee. Don't believe what you watch on tv...LoL...Tv also said David Carradine hung himself. Thats funny...

K everyone who thinks cannabis had anything to do with bruce lees death is an idiot ahahahahahhahahahahaha i have no idea how he died but all ur comments are just speculation cuz you have no idea either...but the biggest point in all of this?.....cannabis has never been directly linked to death and has medicinal properties that have been used for over 2 thousand years...u can not overdose on marijuana. FACT!! You can not overdose on marijuana even if it is combined with other drugs...Bruce Lee would have run a much bigger chance of overdosing on that one friggin pill than a POUND of weed!.....lets get our facts straight before we go and start preaching information that was obviously not legitimate.

He died of a sever brain oedema (aka swelling caused by a bruise). That is all that can be said for sure. He had a small amount of cannabis in his system, and he had been given a painkiller earlier in the evening, these are also know facts. What actually *caused* the oedema is *not* known, so what Suzuki96 is so shrilly insisting is mere speculation. It *may* have been an allergic reaction to the painkiller, or it *may* have had some other cause, up to and including a blow or blows from a padded blunt instrument such as a blackjack. Probably not nunchuka, as they are hard and would have caused external bruising.

Following the untimely death of Bruce Lee, there were many rumors and speculations about the cause of his death. These rumors ranged from murder to drug overdose. None of which were true.

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 Taiwa

You are referring to "Game of Death"? No he didn't died from a gunshot wound, he died from a drug overdose of hash+aspirin which cause his brain to swell. Furthermore, he never got to finished "Game of Death" because he received an offer to film "Enter the Dragon".
