We know, you just thought about how much water you drink a day. Calm down, or not. It seems that the latest theory about the death of Bruce Lee points to his excessive consumption of H2O. ‘Be water, or not’.
On July 20, 1973, Bruce Lee passed away in Kowloon Tong. (Hong Kong), at age 32, after retiring to rest in his bedroom suffering from dizziness and nausea. Hours later, his team found him unconscious and although he was taken to the hospital, nothing could be done to revive him. Since then, the cause of death of the actor and martial arts expert has become the subject of scientific investigation, but above all the epicenter of new and controversial theories surrounding the loss of Lee.
The autopsy that was carried out on Bruce at the time of his death concluded that the interpreter had used marijuana in the hours before his death and that after this he had ingested a pain reliever called Equagesic. “His death was the result of cerebral edema caused by hypersensitivity to Equagesic”was officially published when the autopsy result was revealed.
BUT, now a recent article published in the Clinical Kidney Journal ensures that Bruce Lee would have died from drinking too much water.
Let’s see, before you stop drinking water (so you could also die), we are going to explain what our friends here say Clinical Kidney Journal. According to his study, Bruce Lee could have died (could, conditionally, that is, maybe not) of hyponatremia. Which is, in terms that we can all understand, an excess of water in our body that the kidney is unable to expel. Wow, Bruce went blind with water.
“He passed away from a specific form of kidney dysfunction: the inability to excrete enough water to maintain water homeostasis, which is primarily a tubular function. This can cause hyponatremia, cerebral edema, and death within hours if excessive water intake is not matched by urinary water excretion, which is consistent with the timeline of Lee’s death.”
“Is kidney’s inability to excrete excess water killed Bruce Lee”, conclude the researchers. And be careful because although it is a serious investigation, the scientists have allowed themselves a little joke that… Well, we will not be the ones to judge. “The fact that we are 60% water does not protects from the potentially lethal consequences of drinking water at a rate faster than our kidneys can excrete. Ironically, Lee made the quote famous Be water, my friendbut excess water seems to have killed it ultimately,” they say.
Let’s see who is the smart one who drinks water after reading this article.
