The legendary Bruce Lee

Early life

Bruce Lee was born on 27 November 1940, during the year of the Dragon on the Chinese zodiac calendar, the Chinese Hospital in San Francisco's Chinatown. His father, Lee Hoi-Chuen was Chinese, and his Catholic mother, Grace Ho, was the Chinese and German descent quarter. Lee and his parents returned to Hong Kong where he was three months ago. There is uncertainty as to his nationality, he was definitely American citizenship because they were born in this country, and in May were a Chinese citizen and a British subject, and ( like Hong Kong, people were British subjects during his childhood). 

Lee Hoi Chuen was a leading Cantonese opera and film actors at the moment, and it proceeds to implement in the years to make Cantonese opera performances with his family, including the U. S. Chinese communities on the eve of the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong during the Second World War. As the tour was very lucrative then, Lee has been touring the United States for many years. Although several of his colleagues decided to remain in the United States at this time to escape the storm, Lee decided to return to Hong Kong after his wife gave birth to her fourth child, due in part to origin and part of the error on his part. In one month, were seized in Hong Kong (at the same time on the attack on Pearl Harbor), and Lisa live then 3 years and 8 months in a brutal Japanese occupation. Lee family survived the war and in fact was done rather well. Lee Hoi Chuen resume his career and the steps to become even more stars in the subsequent year. 

Bruce Lee's mother Grace was even more impressive background. It belonged to one of the richest and most powerful clans in Hong Kong, Tung Ho, Hong Kong's response to Rockefeller and the Kennedys. She is the niece of Sir Robert Ho Tung, the patriarch of the clan. Thus, a young Bruce Lee grew up in a rich and privileged.

Death

A foreshadowing of the events that took place on 10 May 1973, when Lee collapsed in Golden Harvest studios, any duplication of work on Enter the Dragon. Suffering from a seizure and cerebral edema, he was immediately rushed to Baptist Hospital in Hong Kong, where doctors were able to reduce the swelling of the administration of Mannitol and revive. The same symptoms that occurred in the wake of its first fall repeatedly on the day of his death.

20 July 1973, Lee in Hong Kong, due to have dinner with former James Bond star George Lazenby, with whom he intends to make a movie. According to Lee's wife Linda, Lee producer Raymond Chow met at 2 pm in the house to discuss the making of the film Game of Death. They worked until 4 am and then home with colleague Betty Ting Li, a Taiwanese actress. All three received the script Ting homes and then Chow left to attend the dinner meeting. [Citation needed] 

A little later, Lee complained of headaches, and gave Ting analgesic (painkiller), Equagesic, which contained both aspirin and muscle relaxation. Around 7:30 pm, he went to bed to sleep. After Lee did not appear for dinner, Chow came to the apartment, but after Lee up. A doctor was called, who spent ten minutes trying to revive him before sending an ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Nevertheless, Lee was dead when he came to the hospital. There is no external damage, but his brain had swollen considerably, from 1400 to 1575 grams (13% growth). Lee was 32 years. In only two substances found during the autopsy were Equagesic and traces of cannabis. 15 October 2005, Chow stated in an interview that Lee died of a hypersensitivity to the muscle relaxation in Equagesic, which he described as a component of the pain. When the doctors announced Lee's death officially, it is "death by accident". [Citation needed] 

Dr. Don Langford, who was a physician whether the individual in Hong Kong and treatment by Lee in his first fall after his death, said that "it is not a problem, I think cannabis should have been identified as the alleged cause of death. " He also believes that "Equagesic not attend the first fall of Bruce."Professor RD Teare, who oversees more than 1000 autopsies, was named as one of the leading experts on the Lee case. Dr. Teare declared that the presence of cannabis was mere coincidence, and added that it would be "irresponsible and irrational" said he may have caused the death of Lee. His conclusion was that death was caused by an acute cerebral edema due to reaction with compounds in drugs on the killing of Equagesic. In pre-trial detention in the neurosurgeon who saved the life of Lee in May, Peter Woo, is that the cause of death must be attributed to a reaction to cannabis or Equagesic. However, later, Dr. Wu fell from this position: 
"Professor Teare was a forensic scientist recommended by Scotland Yard, and he was as an expert on cannabis, and we can not contradict his testimony. The dosage of cannabis is neither precise nor predictable, but I never knew anyone to die from it. " 

Exact details of the death of Li is in dispute. 

His wife Linda returned to her hometown of Seattle, and is buried in Lakeview Cemetery Lot 276. Coffin at his funeral July 31, 1973 included Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Chuck Norris, George Lazenby, Dan Inosanto, Taky Kimura, Peter Chin, and his brother, Robert Lee. 

Its status as a symbol, and premature death fed many theories about his death, including murder, linked to the triad society, and it is a curse on him and his family. 

The curse theory was extended to his son, Brandon Lee, also an actor, who died 20 years after his father, in a strange incident involving the shooting of crows at the age of 28 years. He was released after his death, and has acquired a cult status as his father was the last film. (Raven was conducted using a computer-generated images, and a liner in several scenes, but the criticism that has yet to be filmed.) Brandon Lee was buried beside his father.
