how did Bruce Lee die

[MooNiNite]

People say he was recieving cultivation training, maybe his death was energy related? Opinions

[C T]

Till today, there are still staunch believers who argues that he is in fact still alive, in permanent retreat somewhere in the mountains of China. They are of the firm stance that the body in the coffin was in fact a dummy, or some dude who happened to have died around that time and bore a slight resemblance to Bruce. These folks say that Bruce Lee became 'enlightened', and no longer wished to be 'in the world' of materialism. I dunno... maybe they are right, maybe not, who can say for sure? Stranger things have happened.

My previous teacher told me he was cursed while in Indonesia

Well a person who could leave there body.could easily verify C.T's response. But that person isnt me

I was thinking something like this. Energy practitioners often become targets..so iv heard

 

I dont think he was very advanced cultivation wise, but probably had huge potential

The official account of how Bruce Lee died is that he took a type of pain killer for a head ache, which caused an allergic or bad reaction reaction in him and he died of cerebral edema (brain inflammation). Some people close to him at that time such as Chuck Norris have confirmed this account is correct, although Chuck Norris said the brain inflammation was actually caused by a bad reaction between pain killers Bruce was taking for his back pain and the pain medication he took for his head ache. I think that doctors at the time couildn't say for certain what caused the bad reaction, but cerebral edema/brain inflammation is reported to have been the cause of death.

For example see this video for Chuck Norris's account (He starts talking about this at about 4:05):

Ur profile pic confuses me btw. What is it?

[thamosh]

Who knows what he trained in

 

[h.uriahr]

He's probably doing personal sessions with Tupac up on Kunlun Mountain

That's interesting id wonder who out of the 2 would win a philosophical debate....

I doubt either one of them would debate

[thamosh]

Quite correct....

 

Being that the convo is happening on Kunlun shan Max Dorje would keep tha peace.

[MooNiNite]

Well its settled, he is still alive and well, on Kunlun mountain. Tupac is there too.

[Rara]

I doubt either one of them would debate

 

Are you sure? I'm almost certain there would be a battle of some sort...

 

 

I used to read into the conspiracies wanting to believe them. After watching "I AM Bruce Lee" recently, hearing Shannon talk about these made me realise how disrespectful it is to speculate such things.

 

So yes, a tragic action related to medication is what I will agree on.

The man virtually single handedly, gave the HK Chinese back their pride / respect.

They couldn't / wouldn't understand how a superfit guy in his early 30's, who many considered their hero, could die from taking a migraine tablet (equlgesic, I think, from memory).

The actress Betty Ting Pei's (?) career amongst others, never recovered.

 

Sure the guy was a bit wild in his youth and had a temper.

But he was also a martial artist with fantastic ability.

He was never still, always training or reading, or both at once.

His books make interesting reading.

Not so much the innovator, as some might think.

As a lot of his sayings and techniques were borrowed from elsewhere.

But the way he put stuff together was what made him really special IMO.

 

Don't know anything about his cultivation stuff.

But sincerely hope that his family aren't adversely affected by all the theories that have been circulating since 1973.

The dummy rumour most likely was linked to the finished 'Game of Death' movie after Bruce has passed away, which showed a dummy face of Bruce being broken.

When did he visit Indonesia?

I agree. Bruce also collapsed and was rushed to hospital and saved a couple of months before his death from the same problem.

Yes and that drug was considered toxic shortly after his death and discontinued... not that much mystery here like you say. Fact is many people die from painkillers. Many still seemingly fit. Overuse of painkillers is quickly rising today and so are deaths from them:

And those are just numbers where you can make the connection. Real numbers are higher.
