Anyone know? Triads? Curse on his family? A hit? Accidental overdose? Cannabis mixed with muscle relaxers? Freak accident?

What about Brandon Lee? Guy gets shot during the filming of the crow? Shannon Lee still thriving though. Another hit?

Chinese pissed that he brought info to the states?

Bruce seemed like a cool dude, very enlightened for such a young age though. And of course his martial arts skills are beyond reproach.

Be water my friend.

Bruce--Pushed his body to the limit and the limit pushed back. Read somewhere that he might have been allergic to some stuff he was taking.

Brandon--Just blind, dumb, sad luck.

Shannon--If it is a conspiracy, I doubt she has any worries as females are not a big deal in Chinese culture.

I am a huge B. Lee fan, but I am fairly sure the ping pong demo has been proved to not be him, and I'm fairly sure the match stick bit is CGI also.

With that said, I am all on board with the thought process of curse on family, not cause I believe it so much but it's just more fun.

Bad man at one time

On May 10, 1973, Lee collapsed during an ADR session for Enter the Dragon at Golden Harvest in Hong Kong. Suffering from seizures and headaches, he was immediately rushed to Hong Kong Baptist Hospital where doctors diagnosed cerebral edema. They were able to reduce the swelling through the administration of mannitol. The headache and cerebral edema that occurred in his first collapse were later repeated on the day of his death.[76]

On July 20, 1973, Lee was in Hong Kong, to have dinner with James Bond star George Lazenby, with whom he intended to make a film. According to Lee's wife Linda, Lee met producer Raymond Chow at 2 p.m. at home to discuss the making of the film Game of Death. They worked until 4 p.m. and then drove together to the home of Lee's colleague Betty Ting Pei, a Taiwanese actress. The three went over the script at Ting's home, and then Chow left to attend a dinner meeting.[77][78]

Later Lee complained of a headache, and Ting gave him an analgesic (painkiller), Equagesic, which contained both aspirin and the tranquilizer meprobamate. Around 7:30 p.m., he went to lie down for a nap. When Lee did not turn up for dinner, producer Raymond Chow came to the apartment, but was unable to wake Lee up. A doctor was summoned, who spent ten minutes attempting to revive Lee before sending him by ambulance to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. By the time he reached the hospital, Lee died at the age of 32.

There was no visible external injury; however, according to autopsy reports, Lee's brain had swollen considerably, from 1,400 to 1,575 grams (a 13% increase). The autopsy found Equagesic in his system. On October 15, 2005, Chow stated in an interview that Lee died from an allergic reaction to the tranquilizer meprobamate, the main ingredient in Equagesic, which Chow described as an ingredient commonly used in painkillers. When the doctors announced Lee's death officially, it was ruled a "death by misadventure".

When I was in L.A. I lived in a duplex for awhile and the guy that lived in the other half was one of the directors on The Crow. He told me the entire story and it was 100% an accident, no conspiracy or any of that crap.

There isn't a case opened in the first place. He died in an accident that has been proven to be an accident. Only a nut at this point would think it was something sinister. Guess what you can close the case on Elvis also.

Someone played a joke and put pee pee in his coke. The bad part was that they had AIDS.

All I know is that he could definitely beat up Mike Tyson. No question.
