kung fu. It has obeyed the law in Hong Kong therefore they killed him.

usage.
There are to many
versions of his cause of death and it is definitely mysterious!
That the Bruce lee family
is hiding something and there was a trace of a woman and drugs… ok so did Bruce
lee actually die?
HOW IT WAS?
1973
Bruce Lee and his family were spending the first half of the year in Hong Kong
where Bruce was busy with two things finishing up “enter the dragon” and shooting
the new film “game of death” the producer of those two films was Raymond chow,
founder of golden harvest a film production company based out Hong Kong Raymond
and Bruce were the best friends. On July 20th at around 08:30 am Bruce
lee woke up and did his routine morning exercises for about 45 minutes. He
would typically stretch, do some cardio on a home- made stationary bike,
practice jeet kune do and lift weights. His mornings were intense but never too
exhausting 10:30 am lee arrived at golden harvest to work on the script of game
of death with Raymond chow somewhere around that time, lee ate a small amount
of hash, as he believed cannabis expanded his consciousness. In 1970s and 8
chewing cannabis was “the Thing” in Hong Kong, especially popular among the
wealthy people. 1 pm Bruce lee jumped into his red Mercedes Benz and drove away
to 67 beacon hill road, where on the second floor in a one-bedroom apartment
lived his mistress, betty ting pei, a 26-year-old Taiwanese actress introduced
to Bruce by Raymond chow. Apparently, in Hong Kong not many people knew about
relationships that Bruce was having on the side. According to the book, betty
wrote after Bruce lee’s death, that day when he arrived, they had sex and some
more hash. Later in the evening, Bruce and betty had a dinner appointment with
Raymond chow and George Lazenby, a Hollywood actor who Bruce wanted to invite
as a guest star for his new film “Game of death” 6 pm Bruce complained of a headache
when Raymond chow arrived at betty’s apartment to pick up Bruce and betty for
the dinner. At 07:30 pm it was time to leave but Bruce’s headache only got worse.
betty gave Bruce equagesic (meprobamate and aspirin) pill, a quite common prescription for pain
killer and Bruce said that he would like to rest. 07:45 pm Raymond cow departs
for the dinner with George Lazenby alone as the three agreed Bruce and betty
will join them as soon as Bruce feels better. In between 08:15 to 09:30 pm from
the restaurant Raymond telephoned betty’s number twice asking when they were
planning to join them. First time betty said that Bruce was sleeping. Second
time she said that Bruce was still sleeping, but she was about to wake him up.
Afraid of disturbing him betty opened the door slowly, crept into the bedroom
kneeled down bedside him, and whispered Bruce, but he did not respond. She
pushed his shoulder and said a little louder” Bruce,” but he still didn’t wake
up panic rising shoe shook him and shouted “Bruce! Bruce!” betty called Raymond
back at the restaurant in hysterics she couldn’t wake him up Raymond told to
her to calm down and raced across town to betty’s apartment. When chow arrived
at the apartment, he found almost naked Bruce flat on betty’s mattress not
breathing. Chou realized that it was too late. His star was already dead. Ok at
this point the most famous man in Hong Kong was dead in his mistress’s bed, and
the two of them were the only witnesses. the scandal would consume them. the
press would blame them. it could end their careers, maybe even put them in
legal jeopardy.

Baptist Hospital
25 Minutes
Queen Elizabeth Hospital
If
Raymond original goal was to save Bruce’s life, now his immediate goal was
clear. Bruce lee had to die somewhere else besides his mistress apartment chou
told betty to call her personal physician Dr chu. When Dr chu arrived, he tried
to revive Bruce for ten minutes without success. It seems likely that Raymond
explained to Dr chu the gravity of the situation and pleaded with him to drive Bruce’s
body to Baptist hospital, where Dr chu worked at the time and which was only
half a mile away, in order to limit the number of witnesses. Instead, Dr chu
decided to call an ambulance to treat a person who had collapsed and instead that
the patient be taken to queen Elizabet hospital which was twenty-five minutes
away. It took seven minutes for the two paramedics and ambulance driver to
arrive at the scene around 10:30 pm the paramedics could not find a pulse and
the patient was not breathing they performed CPR and gave him artificial oxygen
there was no change in the patient the paramedics carried Bruce to the
ambulance Raymond chow and Dr chu jumped in back with them. A little after 11:
30 pm telephones across Hong Kong started ringing with the news…Bruce lee was
dead at the age of 32 the death cause was unknown………the autopsy report willm
later show that Bruce lee had died of cerebral edema, swelling of the brain
presumably caused by an allergic reaction to the equagesic given to Bruce by
betty.
According to the autopsy
report, some doctors said that lee died due to cerebral edema, while some
doctors said that it could have been a different cause.
The
funeral ceremony in Hong Kong was attended by twenty-five thousand people.
