A television documentary will be investigating the death of icon Bruce Lee is to premiere on Wednesday, featuring Hollywood actor Lawrence Fishburne premieres 20th July at 9 PM on HISTORY TV18
Bruce Lee died in 1973, under mysterious circumstances in Hong Kong at the age of 33-a month before the release of this iconic blockbuster which earned him global stardom.
The 49th Death Anniversary of his death will see an in-depth investigation, hosted and narrated by Academy Award® nominee and Emmy Award® winner Laurence Fishburne, into the tragedy that unfolded on that fateful day in ‘The Death Of Bruce Lee’ on Wednesday, 20th July at 9 PM on HistoryTV18.
On the fateful evening of his death, Lee (pictured) complained of a headache, took a painkiller, went for a nap, and never woke up. A myriad of rumours and conspiracy theories surrounded his sudden demise, shocking and capturing the attention of the world.
Bruce’s brother, Robert Lee, was discontent with the official cause of his death – which cited a fatal reaction to aspirin. But could something as ordinary as this widely used drug send an extraordinary person to his deathbed?
The show seeks to investigate every possible angle in an attempt to get to the bottom of the truth.
Bruce Lee was the founder of Jeet Kune Do- a hybrid martial arts philosophy drawing from different combat disciplines that is often credited with paving the way for modern mixed martial arts (MMA).
Lee was the most influential martial artist of all time, and a pop culture icon of the 20th century.
He became an iconic figure known throughout the world, particularly among the Chinese, based upon his portrayal of Chinese nationalism in his film
