The world’s well known majestic artist, Bruce lee was laid
to rest early in his life before he could ever fulfill the greatness that
waited him. Weeks before his biggest film “Enter the Dragon” released was when
the tragedy took place. People say that he was killed by many different ways, but only few know
the cover story and even fewer knew the truth. Many say that he was killed by a drug over dose with
Nepal hashish, he was hit by a death strike in a fight days before
his death, a curse that runs through his family that was put on
him by The order of the Dragon or by the Hong Kong triads because he refused to
pay them for protection. There are plenty of facts that each one of these
stories can be valid, but only one can be the true cause of his death.
Bruce Lee, a famous martial artist,
made a career out of martial arts, the one thing he
loved to do most. Movie pictures show him standing at “5’7 and at only 128
pounds with long black hair, dark brown eyes, muscular frame and tanned skin” (celebrity
measurement). He would help those who couldn’t defend
themselves and taught them how to defend themselves. This is the most
probable reason why he opened a school for martial arts. Days before his
big movie release when he visited his good friend and co-star Betty Ting at her
house. This
is where he took the aspirin and passed out;
something he didn’t want to happen.
Bruce was a peaceful and kind man basing his “fundamental needs, values and
orientation towards life are symbolized by the four astrological elements. Fire (Warmth, inspiration, enthusiasm) earth
(practicality, realism, material interests),
air (social and intellectual
qualities), and water (emotional needs and feelings)” (top synergy). He cared for the
people who he came in contact with,
especially for his wife and two kids. One thing Bruce
was bad at was listening to the doctors about his health. He needed to stop
taking Nepal Hashish, “Dr. Langford told him if he started taking this again, it would kill him” and also “He rejected
Langford's medical advice”
(Divine wind). The Nepal Hashish
was later in found in his body again by the doctors when he had passed away.
In the death case of
Bruce Lee, there are quite a few conspiracy theories that have been brought up to
be named the true death of the martial artist. The first conspiracy theory proposes that
Bruce Lee was killed by a self-used drug overdose of Nepal hashish. “On May 10th, 1973 Bruce lee’s doctors knew what almost
killed him on that day because he ate some in the bathroom and then collapsed
on the floor at Golden Harvest Studio, regained consciousness and then collapsed
again, and went into
convulsions and seizures and was throwing up, then went comatose” (Divine wind). The highly ranked
doctor, Dr. Langford blamed his death from a cerebral edema on July 20th, 1973, and the only thing he
knew that could have caused this was the Nepal hashish that Bruce lee had used
before (Divine wind).
The second
conspiracy suggests that, Bruce Lee was hit with a death strike in a fight days before his
death by martial arts followers. On the day of his death, there was a mark on his head that people say
he hit his head when he fell from a seizure (Divine wind). That mark could very
well be the death strike that killed him. The marital art followers were mad because “In the 1970s, Chinese martial arts
were not often taught outside of Chinese culture. Some believe Chinese martial art followers
killed Lee for teaching outsiders their secrets and techniques” (Enkivillage). Although Dr. Langford says that
damage to the head was too small to be a hit from a weapon, it could have been
from someone’s hand or foot. The damage could have been more significate than what the doctors
could see from just the mark it left.
The third conspiracy theory suggests
that he was killed by a curse that runs through Bruce Lee’s family that was put
on him by The order of the Dragon. They were “A secret society that worships Chinese Demons, some of which are
considered Earthly Gods as well. So before Bruce was even born, his important role in their organization had
already been preordained” (Mystic investigations). They wanted Bruce Lee to join their devilish
group, but he rejected them
several times. They decided to unleash a demon on him which was supposedly meant to
kill him. That demon was defeated by Bruce in a dream when he went into an
astral dream plane. Although after the demon was defeated, the curse lived on, which was passed down to
Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee’s first son. “Unfortunately the curse lived on for Brandon despite the lack of a
demon plaguing him” (Mystic investigations). Brandon Lee grew up following his father’s footsteps and
becoming an actor. Brandon lee died on set filming the movie “The Crow”. This is when the
curse pops up again, but this time it sounded more convincing than just a superstition.
The last conspiracy theory suggests that the
Hong Kong triads killed Bruce Lee because he refused to pay them for protection. As a martial artist, Bruce Lee could
protect himself from people trying to attack him, but the notorious Hong Kong triads thought
otherwise. They would constantly bother him about paying them or him working with
them to make them money, but he always refused their offers and rejected paying them. Therefore, they held a grudge
against him and his family. “The Triads, a group of organized criminals with ties to the entertainment
industry in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan, China, are top suspects in the murder of both Bruce and Brandon Lee. The Triads were angry
with Bruce Lee for refusing to work in their movies, and in turn, held a grudge against
his son, Brandon” (Conspirazzi). People also state that the triad convinced Bruce lee’s co-worker actor “and friend of Lee, Betty Ting, poisoned him on
behalf of a Chinese Tong secret society. No one knows why they would want him dead” (Enkivillage). Supposedly, that secret society
was part of the Hong Kong triads.
The most likely
scenario is that Bruce Lee died from a drug overdose with Nepal hashish. He had mostly all the
side effects of the drug he was using. “It's neurological side effects are nightmarish, and contains over 4,000 chemical compounds, any one of which, his central nervous
system could build up a sensitivity to, and so highly toxic, cerebral edema, kidney/ adrenal failure, vomiting, convulsions, cardiac arrest/coma and death is the
result” (Divine wind). The biggest side effect was the cerebral edema which Dr. Langford did find
while examining his body (Divine wind). Dr. Langford knew that
the Nepal hashish was the main cause of Bruce Lee’s death because it was in his bloodstream when
he died. He had almost died from it two months before his actual death, and he refused to
stop taking it.
Bruce Lee remains as one of the many famous
entertainers whose death remains mysterious by the cause of rumors spread by
people. The thirty-two-year –old’s death developed
into 4 conspiracy theories:
1.
Did Bruce Lee
overdose on Nepal hashish?
2.
Was Bruce Lee hit
with a death strike?
3.
Was Bruce Lee
killed by a curse?
4.
Did the Hong Kong
triad kill Bruce Lee?
Many believe that Bruce Lee died of an
overdose of Nepal hashish because of the medical evidence released from his
doctors, but there are still people who believe he died
another way.
