Martyred by The Ancients

The Truth About Bruce Lee’s Death
How did Bruce die? The truth about his death is not quite as dramatic as the above mentioned tales.
Simply put, he died due to a severe allergy to aspirin, which he took for a headache.
Soon after ingesting this over-the-counter medication, Bruce developed edema (swelling) of the brain, and as a result, passed away shortly thereafter.
His good friend Chuck Norris reiterated this account on many occasions.
Chuck sincerely wished to set the record straight but false facts about the incident spread throughout the years
