People all over the world who saw this news expressed their sorrow and shock, how could such a physically strong person who practiced martial arts suddenly die violently?
For a while, all speculations emerged, some people said it was love killing, some people said sudden illness, and some people suspected that Bruce Lee offended people and was a vendetta.
But there was no conclusion, and later the case attracted more and more attention, coupled with the media campaign, and the court finally came to an ambiguous conclusion: Bruce Lee died of a sudden illness.
Obviously, people can't accept such a reason to explain the fall of a generation of superstars, so why did Bruce Lee die, and is the new cause of death studied by experts 49 years later true and reliable?
Achieve your dreams through hard work
Bruce Lee is a well-deserved "light of Chinese" in the minds of many Chinese, and the cow man who has put Chinese kung fu on the world stage.
In the "100 Most Influential People of the Twentieth Century" selected by Time magazine in the United States, Bruce Lee's name stands there like a golden light, making the Chinese people proud.
It can be seen that Bruce Lee is a respected and remembered idol of the times.
In the fall of 1940, Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco, USA, and his father Li Haiquan was a Cantonese opera master with rich resources in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, Bruce Lee was "borrowed" by his father's friend to play the baby in "Golden Gate Girl" just after birth, which is really the dragon and phoenix among people.
This also planted a small seed for Bruce Lee's later entry into the entertainment industry.
Time flies, Bruce Lee's family moved back to Hong Kong, and since he was eight years old, he has participated in many films, and his scenes are mostly martial arts scenes.
Fortunately, Bruce Lee has been practicing boxing with his father since he was a child, and he also knows a little about kung fu.
As he grew up, Bruce Lee became more and more fond of martial arts, and once wanted to drop out of school and become a real martial arts practitioner.
Soon, Bruce Lee broke into trouble because of his love of fighting.
Once he injured a classmate and was expelled from school.
Bruce Lee's father was so angry that he decided to send him back to the United States and told him that he would not sponsor his education.
This made Bruce Lee panic all of a sudden, and he returned to the United States as he was penniless.
He worked part-time and studied at the same time, lived a tight life, and in his spare time would teach people dance and martial arts to earn extra money.
Bruce Lee himself was gifted and comprehensible, and after continuous study, he was admitted to Washington State University.
In his sophomore year, he founded the Zhenfan Guoshu class, and many students who came to participate signed up.
In 1966, Bruce Lee coincidentally participated in the movie "The Green Hornet", moving Chinese kung fu to the American screen and making him famous.
In 1971, Bruce Lee accepted the invitation of the Hong Kong Film and Television Company and returned to his hometown to shoot an action movie "Brother Tangshan" starring him.
The wonderful martial arts scenes in the film made the movie box office break records at once, and Bruce Lee became famous in Asia.
Later, he also filmed films such as "Jingwumen", "Dragon Crossing the River" and "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight", it can be said that relying on his own efforts, Bruce Lee realized his dream in the entertainment industry step by step.
Bizarre death, opinions vary
It stands to reason that Bruce Lee's life is like the sky, and there will naturally be many bodyguards and doctors around him to ensure his safety, how can he die like this?
After Bruce Lee's death, the Hong Kong media, which was the first to report, published the bad news and claimed that Bruce Lee died at home.
And his wife Linda also said that Bruce Lee did die at home, but soon this incident made the paparazzi break the news that it was fake and she was lying.
This news was released, making the already mysterious Bruce Lee incident even more confusing.
Subsequently, after in-depth excavation by the media, it was found that on the day of Bruce Lee's death, he gathered with Ding Pei and Zou Wenhuai at Ding Pei's house, and this news broke, and people speculated that it was a love killing.
Because this Ding Pei is Bruce Lee's gossip girlfriend, although the two have clarified many times that they are only particularly good friends, the media photographed Bruce Lee and Ding Pei going out alone many times and behaving intimately.
Therefore, everyone in the circle can only understand the relationship between the two of them ineffably.
The paparazzi who followed the secret photo said that Zou Wenhuai left alone that night, Bruce Lee never came out, and when he saw Bruce Lee again, it was already a cold corpse.
That is, what really happened in Ding Pei's house became the key to the cause of Bruce Lee's death.
While everyone was still wondering about the accuracy of the news, the media interviewed the hospital that performed emergency for Bruce Lee that day, and the hospital director said that the ambulance did pull Bruce Lee to the hospital from Ding Pei's house.
In this way, everyone is more convinced that Ding Pei killed Bruce Lee, it is because Ding Pei loves and kills, so he is trapped by love and hurts the killer.
Of course, such speculation is false, because the forensic doctor did not find trauma on Bruce Lee's body, and there was no obvious poison component, and the argument that Ding Pei was the murderer was naturally not valid.
Because the case has attracted attention at home and abroad, many Bruce Lee fans went to the police station collectively to demand a thorough investigation of the case and return everyone the truth.
The Hong Kong Police Department and the court set up a special investigation task force to interrogate those involved in this incident.
Roughly sketching out the outline of a story, Bruce Lee and Zou Wenhuai were in contact with a script "Game of Death" at the time, and their understanding of the characters was very similar and they had a good time.
Later, Zou Wenhuai proposed to go to Ding Pei's house to discuss the script together, because Ding Pei also had a role in it, Bruce Lee readily agreed, and the two went to Ding Pei's house together.
After arriving at Ding Pei's house, the three people polished the script again, and even played the role in the play, which was right.
Everything was so smooth, at this moment, Zou Wenhuai received a call, there was something at home that he needed to go home to deal with, and he said goodbye to the two and left Ding Pei's house first.
So at this time, only Ding Pei and Bruce Lee were left in the room, and Bruce Lee had passed away, so the next description of the matter was Ding Pei's personal account, and the credibility remained to be examined.
According to Ding Pei, after the two of them had dinner, they discussed the script again, Bruce Lee said a lot of his own opinions, and also gave Ding Pei some character opinions.
But suddenly, Bruce Lee covered his chest and squatted down, saying that his body was unwell, and his chest was stuffy and his head hurt.
Ding Pei wanted to call the doctor, but the doctor was too far away from them, and Bruce Lee himself did not sleep well, plus he was tired some time ago, so Ding Pei gave him a painkiller.
After taking the medicine, Bruce Lee went to the bedroom to sleep and rest, while Ding Pei watched the TV series alone and went out to buy some things.
After returning, it had been more than an hour since Bruce Lee took his medicine, but there was no movement in the room.
Ding Pei thought he might be too tired, so he went to sleep and did not disturb him.
Until after eleven o'clock at night, Ding Pei was ready to ask Bruce Lee if he had eaten and when he would come home, and when she arrived at the bedroom, she called Bruce Lee softly, but there was no response.
She realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately shook Bruce Lee, but still did not wake him up.
Ding Pei immediately called a private doctor and an ambulance, and after the doctor quickly arrived, he began to perform first aid and did several cardiac resuscitations, but to no avail.
After the ambulance came, it was also useless to carry out rescue work, and Bruce Lee lay motionless like that.
Ding Pei watched blankly, and the person who was still discussing the script together in the afternoon lay on the operating table, covered with a white cloth, as if he was in a world away.
After a while, Bruce Lee's wife, Linda, came, and she cried when she saw the doctor's words on the death certificate.
An atmosphere of sadness pervaded the corridors of the entire hospital, and everyone felt sorry for the superstar.
At this point, it can be regarded as an explanation to the public, but the cause of Bruce Lee's death has not been completely revealed, and the public still demands to continue to be investigated.
Dissect the corpse and discover the truth
The best way to die suddenly like this can only be to dissect the corpse and let the corpse tell everyone the answer.
But as a generation of superstars, how could Bruce Lee's body be easily dissected, as soon as this news came out, fans resisted, hoping to find another key to solving the case.
As for the autopsy of the body, Bruce Lee's wife Linda and son Li Guohao did not agree very much.
However, there is no way, to find out the truth of death, it is necessary to carry out the autopsy of the body, which is also related to Ding Pei's innocence.
In desperation, Linda had to endure the pain of agreeing to the autopsy and issued a press statement to explain to fans and fans around the world.
Soon, the results of the autopsy came out, in addition to the residues of food, Bruce Lee's stomach also had some "marijuana" ingredients, but the content was very small, so it was not fatal.
After careful examination, the forensic doctor also found the ingredients of the painkiller, which was indeed the kind of medicine that Ding Pei gave Bruce Lee.
But this drug is not available to everyone, there will be allergens, some people will have allergic reactions after eating, and even coma to death.
And Bruce Lee is not suitable for taking this medicine, can it be said that Ding Pei killed Bruce Lee indirectly?
Since there was not enough evidence to prove that Ding Pei did it intentionally, the court could not judge Ding Pei.
However, Bruce Lee's fans completely blamed his death on Ding Pei's head, and some irrational fans even went to Ding Pei's door to chase and intercept and insult.
This had a great impact on Ding Pei's life, and soon she couldn't bear the overwhelming suspicion and announced her retirement from the entertainment industry.
But the cause of Bruce Lee's death is still inconclusive, in order to appease everyone, the people of the task force posted an announcement that they will continue to investigate Bruce Lee's living habits.
As early as in the United States, Bruce Lee participated in an event, and after the end he went to the bathroom, but suddenly fainted at the door.
After returning to Hong Kong, he went to a doctor to check his body, and the doctor found that Bruce Lee was muscular, very healthy, and had no diseases at all.
It was in this way that Bruce Lee was sure that his fainting was just an accident, so he didn't care much.
Therefore, the court believed that Bruce Lee's death was likely to be an episode of a hidden disease in the body, but everyone did not believe it at all, and even said that if Bruce Lee was not healthy, then everyone in the world was sick.
In the end, after searching for a circle, the court ruled that Bruce Lee's death was an accident.
The latest research from experts: related to drinking water
After 49 years, many people may have forgotten Bruce Lee, or did not know Bruce Lee at all, but the cause of his death is still an unsolved mystery.
Fortunately, there is an expert, a fan of Bruce Lee, who has been insisting on studying the cause of Bruce Lee's death for many years, he has consulted a lot of information and consulted many doctors, hoping to investigate the cause of the idol's death.
With the development of science and the emergence of more and more health knowledge, experts found that Bruce Lee's autopsy report had a high proportion of body water.
That is to say, before Bruce Lee died, he drank a lot of water in a short period of time, which caused the sodium ions in his body to drop rapidly, resulting in a drop in blood sugar saturation and making people feel dizzy.
Bruce Lee took medicine and drank a lot of water that day, plus he himself was a little unwell, and Ding Pei did not find his problem in time, delaying the first aid time, which led to this tragedy.
However, after the publication of this study, it was rejected by many medical professionals, and the water poisoning was too large.
Therefore, most people still believe that this is a "conspiracy", after all, Bruce Lee's son also died, which has set off people's speculation and curiosity.
Perhaps in a few decades, Bruce Lee will be completely forgotten, and the cause of his death will truly become a mystery.
