How Did Bruce Lee Die?
Bruce's father died, at age 64.
Bruce had the feeling that he would only live to be half his father's
age. Sure enough, Bruce died when he was 32. Brandon Lee, Bruce's
son, also died at a very young age. In fact, he died just three and a
half months prior to his father's death. Brandon died when a prop gun
fired a bullet; the same way that Bruce's character faked his
death.
A bad Feng Shui deflector, placed
on the roof of Bruce's Cumberland Road home in Hong Kong, was blown
off the roof by heavy rain and winds. The deflector had been placed
on the house to protect Bruce and family from bad Feng Shui; previous
owners had all been plagued by financial disaster and it was believed
that this was because of the incorrect positioning of the house. The
deflector was to ward off evil spirits.
Supposedly, a black shadow, perhaps
a ghost of some kind, came to Bruce one night. Bruce told of being
held down for several minutes and when he was finally let up he was
drenched with sweat. This is probably one of the few times Bruce had
been physically defeated.
Perhaps his death was this same
spirit that came in order to finish him off.
In Hong Kong, the Mafia controlled
most of the famous actors, usually by force. When they confronted
Bruce, Bruce obviously refused to work for the Mafia. Some believe
that the Chinese Mafia might have arranged for Bruce's
death.
Although these stories are very
convincing to some, the more scientific type has a far more difficult
time in believing them. Here are some more probable theories
regarding his death.
Numerous blows to the head can in
fact cause brain aneurysms, the claimed "cause of death" from the
autopsy. Throughout Bruce's life, other fighters were continually
challenging him, and of course the legend of the world couldn’t
let down an offer. Although Bruce won all the fights he was involved
in, he was probably hit numerous times in the head. In addition to
this theory, Bruce complained of reoccurring headaches, good suspect
for the aneurysm possibility.
