MYSTERY OF BRUCE LEE'S DEATH SOLVED
They've always told us that Bruce Lee died of a cerebral edema brought on by an allergic reaction to a painkiller. But they are liars!
According to James Filkins, at the medical examiner's office in Chicago, it's far more likely that Bruce Lee died of "sudden unexpected death in epilepsy" a condition that wasn't even recognized until 1995.
SUDEP involves a seizure that stops the heart and lungs, brought on in men who are suffering from stress and lack of sleep, and it kills close to 500 men each year in the UK. Of course, you have to suffer from epilepsy to die of SUDEP, but mild epilepsy could have been missed or not diagnosed in Bruce Lee.
Sounds good to me. Case closed!

Hey Grady. GREAT website. I revealed that many people in Hong Kong told me Bruce had epilepsy in both my original Martial Arts Movie book (1985) as well as the later edition, Great Martial Arts Movies (2001). I was surprised no one picked up on it then, but, for what it's worth, it's "nice" (?!) to know that James Filkins corroborates my discovery at this late date.
