Has Bruce Lee Died Because of Drinking Excess Water?
After around 50 years of Bruce Lee’s death, it is being said that he might have died from drinking too much water.
Who doesn't know about Bruce Lee? The famous Hong Kong-American Martial artist and actor. Although Bruce Lee died almost 50 years back in 1973, some shocking claims have started to surface about his death. Yes, you heard that right, after around 50 years of Bruce Lee’s death, it is being said that he might have died from drinking too much water.
Notably, this is being said by scientists in a new study. Bruce Lee, who helped bring martial arts into popular culture, died in July 1973 at the age of 32 from cerebral oedema, a swelling of the brain. At the time, doctors believed the brain swelling was due to a painkiller. The swelling of the brain, according to a group of researchers, was brought on by hyponatraemia. In their study, which was published in the Clinical Kidney Journal, the researchers have said that Bruce Lee died because his kidneys were unable to eliminate extra water. The cells in the body, particularly those in the brain, swell as a result of an imbalance.
The researchers said that Lee had a variety of risk factors for hyponatremia, such as a high liquid intake, behaviours that might increase thirst, like marijuana use and behaviours that impair the kidneys' capacity to excrete water, like prescription drug use, alcohol consumption, having experienced kidney damage in the past. The scientists concluded that Bruce Lee might have died from a specific form of kidney dysfunction: the inability to excrete enough water.
Brain swelling and death within hours if excess water intake is not matched by water excretion in urine, perfectly matches with Bruce Lee’s death. What do you think about these latest claims about Bruce Lee’s death? Do mention your thoughts in the comment section below.
