Bruce Lee’s Death

Epilepsy could solve mystery of Bruce Lee's death

The official cause of Lee's death was recorded in the autopsy report as cerebral edema, or brain swelling. This was supposedly due to his hypersensitivity to a painkiller called equigesic that he had taken that day.

But further research suggests the kung fu idol may have died from an epileptic condition first recognized more than 20 years after his death.
