Suffering from seizures and headaches, he was immediately rushed to Hong Kong Baptist Hospital where doctors diagnosed cerebral edema.... These same symptoms that occurred in his first collapse were later repeated on the day of his death.

> On 20 July 1973, Lee was in Hong Kong...Lee complained of a headache, and Ting gave him an analgesic (painkiller), Equagesic....Lee was dead by the time he reached the hospital. There was no visible external injury; however, according to autopsy reports, his brain had swollen considerably, from 1,400 to 1,575 grams (a 13% increase).

> Don Langford, Lee's personal physician in Hong Kong, had treated Lee during his first collapse. Controversy erupted when he stated, "Equagesic was not at all involved in Bruce's first collapse"'

> So he collapsed in May after a headache, and had cerebral edema, in July he had a headache and soon after died of cerebral edema....the Equagesic in the second collapse seems incidental to an underlying condition, which was probably being kicked in the head once too often.

> ' Black Belt magazine in 1985 carried the speculation that the death of Bruce Lee in 1973 may have been caused by "a delayed reaction to a Dim Mak strike he received several weeks prior to his collapse"'Sir, no one can be kicked in the head "once too often", especially if you're Bruce Lee.
