The mysterious death of martial arts legend Bruce Lee continues to captivate the world, nearly five decades after his sudden passing at the age of 33. A recent Hong Kong television program, “Guessing the Truth” (Đoán sự thật), has re-examined the events leading up to Lee’s demise on July 20, 1973, shedding new light on the final days of the iconic actor and martial artist.

According to testimony from close friend and film producer Trâu Văn Hoài, Lee had attended a dinner meeting with friends, including actress Đinh Phối, on the evening of his death. However, details about the events of that evening have been shrouded in mystery, with various accounts emerging over the years. The program obtained internal documents and witness statements, revealing inconsistencies in the testimonies of key figures, including Phối.

Initially, Phối denied being present when Lee fell ill, but later changed her story, stating that they had discussed a film script at her home. According to Phối, Lee complained of a headache, took painkillers, and retired to her bedroom. Trâu Văn Hoài claimed to have left Phối’s residence before Lee’s condition worsened, only to return and find Lee unresponsive. Phối then called a doctor, but unfortunately, Lee’s condition rapidly deteriorated.

The official investigation concluded that Lee died from a cerebral edema caused by an allergic reaction to the painkillers he took. However, experts have raised questions about this verdict, citing concerns about the handling of Lee’s case. Dr. Mai Hoài Hồng, who was on duty at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong on the night of Lee’s death, expressed unease about the circumstances surrounding his treatment. “I took over from Dr. Chu Bác Hoài, but he seemed unconcerned, like a bystander,” she recalled in the program.

In her account, Phối shared her own version of events, stating that Lee arrived at her home at 5 pm, complained of a headache at 9 pm, and took the painkillers. She claimed to have obtained the medication from a pharmacy and that it was a common type that Lee had taken before. Phối also acknowledged that she and Lee had an intimate relationship, which sparked controversy and scrutiny after his death.

Phối described the immense pressure she faced in the aftermath of Lee’s death, including hate threats and slander. Despite the challenges, she has maintained her account of events, providing a unique insight into the final hours of the martial arts legend. The cause of Bruce Lee’s death remains a topic of debate, with recent advancements in medicine suggesting that genetic factors may have played a role.

Some experts speculate that Lee’s death could be linked to a family history of sudden passing, with his father and brother both dying unexpectedly. Lee’s widow, Linda Emery, has chosen to focus on her husband’s life and legacy rather than the circumstances surrounding his death. As the world continues to commemorate the legendary martial artist, many questions about his final days remain unanswered.
