This is the best of the bunch so far. It delves deeper into the circumstances of his death than the others, and connects it with the incident three months before, when he collapsed and almost died. There are in-depth interviews with the doctors who saved his life then. What a pity they weren't on hand the second time around. What a pity he slipped into a coma in the apartment of Betty Ting-Pei who for a variety of no doubt very interesting reasons was not able to recognise a dying man when faced with one or respond properly when she finally realised that he was in grave trouble. What to do? Oh, let's phone Raymond Chow in the restaurant! But, as the one doctor notes, he should have sought medical attention if he was feeling as bad as he must have.

What has always intrigued me about the verdict of "Death by misadventure", due to a hypersensitivity to some analgesic ingredient or other, is that this explanation completely ignores the collapse on May 10, and the general ill-health (severe weightloss, headaches, amnesia) he suffered from before he died. Over the years many people who knew or met him in the weeks before his death have commented on the state of his health at the time. In Enter the Dragon it is immediately apparent how much weight he lost. He really is painfully thin. Clearly he was under enormous pressure, since Enter the Dragon represented the fruition of all his hard work, and the realisation of his dream to make it big in Hollywood. Everything was hanging in the balance. His phenomenal success in Asia must have been hard to deal with as well. He was driving himself way past what most people could have dealt with safely.
