The facts are that on the twentieth of July, 1973, one of the healthiest men in movies had a headache. He took a painkiller, which was made of aspirin and a muscle relaxant. Around two hours later, Bruce laid down for a nap. A few hours after this, his friends tried to wake him and they could not. Bruce died of cerebral edema, or a swollen brain, before reaching the hospital. Some doctors say that the painkiller killed him, others say that he was murdered by Hong Kong mafia and still others blame it on a curse. We may never know the real reason.
