The mystery of Bruce Lee's death still does not give his followers and worshipers today. About the legendary warrior-philosopher films are made, in his honor schools of martial arts are opened.

Facts from biography
The legendary actor was born in a family of comedian comedians in 1940. Being creative people, the boy's parents were not against the participation of a three-month-old son in the filming of a low-budget film. The next role the boy got at the age of six. He studied at a regular school and could not boast of achievement. Martial arts, which fascinated peers, he was not interested. The real hobby of Bruce was dancing. For four years of training he managed to achieve a lot. In 1958, he won the Hong Kong Cha Cha Cha Championships. Interest in kung fu Bruce appeared after he managed to defeat the champion of the boxing school, who held this title for three years. Bruce Lee taught the secrets of martial arts master Yip Man. Thanks to him, the young fighter developed an authentic kung fu style, called jiggundo.

When Bruce was nineteen years old, he moved to America. In Seattle, he studied at the Edison School of Technology, Washington University, working as a waiter in a restaurant. In 1964, he married Linda Emery, who gave birth to his son Brandon and his daughter Shannon. A talented fighter with a beautiful physique and characteristic Asian appearance was noticed by the directors, and Bruce Lee was invited to appear in films and serials. A lot of royalties allowed the actor to open his own martial arts school. Teaching students who generously paid for training, Bruce never ceased to dream of leading roles. And not in vain! Films "Fist of Fury" and "Return of the Dragon" allowed him to become famous throughout the world.
The official version of death
Being at the peak of popularity, the thirty-three-year-old actor could not even think that he would be killed by a pill from a headache . Meprobamate and aspirin contained in the tablet, which the actor took during the filming of one of the scenes in the movie "The Game of Death" in Hong Kong, caused cerebral edema. During the next intermission between the shootings, the actor strolled through the garden and fainted . He was rushed to the clinic, but Lee did not come out of the coma.
This is the official cause of death, but skeptics do not agree that Bruce Lee was the victim of the pill. And there is reason for doubting them. After Bruce Lee died, it became known that the experts did not take tests! Conclusions were made only on the basis of visual inspection of the body at autopsy. Of course, fans and students did not cease to wonder why Bruce Lee died. Versions, which were later put forward, seem fantastic. Some claimed that the actor was the victim of another martial artist who used a blow called "slow death". Others suspected of organizing a deliberate murder of the Chinese mafia. Still others spread rumors that the biography of the actor is not so pure, allegedly Bruce Lee cheated on his wife, and death came because of an overdose of "Spanish fly" in bed with his mistress.
Widowed Linda for a long time could not recover from the tragedy. She begged everyone to stop blaming someone for the death of her husband. Two decades later, another blow was expected - at the age of 28 her son Brandon was killed. The death of Bruce Lee and his son still seem mystical by chance, because both died in the prime of life, on the set and absolutely ridiculous ...
