New Insights on Bruce's Death: Tom Bleecker's Theory has more creedence
I spoke to a Vietnamese Catholic person in my neighborhood.
He said the Vietnamese think that Bruce Lee took too many herbs. As a matter of fact, a physician I spoke with said that "everyone thinks herbs are okay since they're natural...but too much can lead to kidney and liver failure."
I'm pretty sure that kidney/adrenal failure led to a cerebral edema which led to his death. But what caused this kidney failure--herbs or anabolic steroids.
I'd say both.
After learning more about Tom Bleecker, Bruce Lee was also Tom's teacher and friend BEFORE he met and fell in love and married Linda Lee. This adds more creedence to
Tom's theory.
He had access to Bruce Lee's files, no one could've gotten so close than he did.
What's amazing is that I've re-read Tom Bleecker's book with greater appreciation and I noticed that Tom claims that Bruce hurt his back during sex and that he was given cortisone which clouded his judgment and that if he really had a back injury--he couldn't have done those flying kicks in the middle of the Indian desert while location-hunting for The Silent Flute.
I've always thought that if Bruce's death wasn't an allergic reaction to strong hashish (an herb), it was due to the 2nd most reliable culprit--anabolic steroids. But now BOTH should be given equal weight. They both worked on his kidneys. In fact what Bleecker doesn't use as a specific example of dark (tanned) skin as the sign of his kidney problems is when Bruce is on the Game of Death set in his yellow jumpsuit--he looks like he's had a sun tan!
So, there you have it--both to some degree caused his death in all likelihood.
