Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee in his last film, Game of Death

On 20 July 1973 martial arts icon Bruce Lee complained of a headache. A few hours later he was dead, from swelling of the brain.

Theories started to circulate that he had been poisoned by the Triads, while others believed a secret cabal of martial arts masters murdered Lee for disclosing too many secrets. There were even rumours of an ancient curse over the Lee family, which appeared to strike again in 1993, when his son, Brandon Lee was killed in a freak accident on a film set.

The official explanation is that Bruce Lee suffered an adverse reaction to drugs he had taken for his headache which caused the cerebral edema which killed him.
