(Video) TVB True Crime Show Reignites Discussion About Bruce Lee's Sudden Death
Earlier this week, Hong Kong broadcaster TVB premiered a new show titled 'Ctrl+F The Truth' that dives into several talked-about cases in the country's history. For its first case, the show discussed the mysterious death of Bruce Lee. The film icon died on 20th July 1973 at the young age of 32. There was no official cause of death, but it was concluded that Bruce Lee died from cerebral oedema.
At the beginning of the episode, hosts Anthony Fong and Vinky Wong mentioned that there are many theories and suspicions about Bruce Lee's death. As part of their investigation, the program obtained court documents and testimonies about Bruce Lee's death from 14 people, including his wife Linda Lee and film producer Raymond Chow. Raymond was also the one who rushed the actor to the hospital, right before he was pronounced dead.
After diving into the circumstances of Bruce Lee's death, the show summarised the sequence of Bruce Lee's death, revealing that he had already passed away while he was at the home of actress Betty Ting. The program also discussed the suspicion about how Raymond had concealed the actor's medical history when at the hospital. Months before his death, the star collapsed on set and had seizures, but this information wasn't disclosed to doctors.
Renowned HK doctor Michael Mak, who was on duty at Queen Elizabeth Hospital during Bruce Lee's death, brought up three of his suspicions about the case. One of his suspicions was regarding Dr Eugene Chu, who tried to resuscitate Bruce Lee at Betty's home. He revealed that Dr Eugene had a lack of urgency about the actor's death, which was puzzling given the star's background and condition.
While the show couldn't determine what exactly happened to Bruce Lee, it received praise for its detailed investigation and reporting. Meanwhile, fans continued to mourn the death of the icon and honour the impact he had in the film industry. Check out the two 'Ctrl+F The Truth' episodes on Bruce Lee's death below:

DJ Koo Visits Barbie Hsu's Grave Every Day Since Her Death; Sparks Concerns Over His Well-being
It's never easy to let go of the ones you love, even after their passing. Recently, South Korean star DJ Koo has been drawing concern after netizens revealed that he had been visiting his late wife Barbie Hsu's (徐熙媛) grave every day, rain or shine. Earlier this week, news outlets reported that DJ Koo, whose real name is Koo Jun-yup (구준엽), has been regularly spotted at his late wife's grave at Chin Pao San Cemetery in New Taipei City. According to locals, the singer has visited Barbie every day ever since she was laid to rest in mid-March. The 'Meteor Garden' star passed away on 2nd February 2025 at age 48 due to an influenza-related pneumonia. News outlets began reporting about DJ Koo's regular visits to Barbie's grave after a local posted about meeting the star while visiting the cemetery. The post prompted more netizens to share their stories of meeting the CLON member at Chin Pao San. Fans of Barbie also claimed to have met DJ Koo while visiting the cemetery to pay their respects to the late actress. Most of the posts revealed that the South Korean star would spend hours in front of his late wife's grave. On 29th July 2025 (Tuesday), another netizen posted about seeing DJ Koo at the cemetery, sitting by his wife's grave. In the photo shared, the musician had brought a large umbrella to shield himself from the elements as he stayed by Barbie's side. There are also rumours that the 55-year-old may be looking for a home near the cemetery so he could visit his late wife's grave more often. However, Barbie's mother, Huang Chunmei (黄春梅), denied the allegations. Netizens express sadness over the posts, extending words of support for DJ Koo. However, the news also sparked concern over the star's mental and physical well-being. Many also pointed out that the musician lost a significant amount of weight since his wife's death. For those unaware, before tying the knot in 2022, DJ Koo and Barbie dated from 1998 to 2000. After Barbie's divorce from her ex-husband Wang Xiaofei, the two rekindled their romance. Given their history, it's no surprise that DJ Koo is heavily affected by Barbie's death. However, we also hope he can find the strength to carry on with his life. What are your thoughts on this?
