James James Filkins, an expert from the office of cause of death research in Cook County, Chicago, USA, pointed out when attending a meeting of the American Academy of Sciences in Seattle, USA, that the autopsy report pointed out that Bruce Lee's neck was not swollen, indicating that he didn't die of drug allergic reaction, so he thought that Bruce Lee died of sudden and unexpected death due to epilepsy, which was discovered only in recent ten years.
Phil Jenkins pointed out that sudden epileptic death can lead to epileptic symptoms and lead to heart or lung failure. The disease kills nearly 500 people in Britain every year, mainly affecting men aged 20 to 40. Lack of sleep and stress will increase the risk of illness, and Bruce Lee's case meets the relevant conditions. At the time of the incident, it was in the prime of life, and the physical and mental pressure was enormous.
The autopsy report after Bruce Lee's death showed that the cause of death was brain edema, and it was suspected that he was allergic to painkillers. However, Phil Jenkins said that drug allergy often leads to swelling of the neck rather than the brain, so he did not believe that Bruce Lee died of drug allergy.
Thirty-five years later, the mystery of the death of Bruce Lee, a world-famous kung fu superstar, was finally solved. According to the Oriental Morning Post, in the 1970s, Zou Wenhuai, a former producer of Bruce Lee, recently revealed to the media the real cause of Bruce Lee's death-taking drugs by mistake.
1973 On July 20th, Bruce Lee died suddenly at the home of his girlfriend, Hong Kong actress Ding Pei. According to the information released by the hospital, he died of "brain edema". But for a long time, there have been different opinions about the causes of death, including excessive practice, drug abuse, heart disease, recurrence of encephalopathy, assassination and so on. Although Bruce Lee did have unhealthy physical training such as muscle electric shock before his death, and was found to contain cannabis residue after his death, none of these can prove that it directly led to Bruce Lee's death. These bizarre and mysterious rumors only make the life of this legendary figure more like a mystery.
Zou Wenhuai, the founder of Jiahe Film, said in an interview recently that Bruce Lee had taken a headache medicine by mistake in someone else's home, and he was allergic to one of the ingredients in the pill. The allergic symptoms didn't break out until he returned to his home in Ding Pei.
Zou Wenhuai said, "It was really just an accident. No one expected that Xiaolong would be allergic to the ingredients in the medicine. " Although Bruce Lee's departure terminated the filming of Game of Death, Zou Wenhuai, the producer of Game of Death at that time, said, "All I can feel is the loss of a very close good friend."
Bruce Lee and Zou Wenhuai cooperated in five films: Big Brother Tangshan, Jingwumen, The Raptors Crossing the River, enter the dragon and The Game of Death, which made China Kung Fu famous overseas for the first time. In Jingwumen, the image of Bruce Lee holding nunchakus when he first appeared on the screen is still regarded as a classic by Bruce Lee fans all over the world.
Zou Wenhuai also cooperated with Jackie Chan at the early stage of his Hollywood career. He commented that although both Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan have superstar temperament, the former loves the national spirit more, while the latter is more sociable.
