Brandon Lee "may" have been killed intentionally. His father however had a fatal allergic reaction to a popular analgesic taken by many in Hong Kong. He had a previous reaction that was not fatal but nobody made the connection. Using aspirin rather than a more traditional remedy in the form of an analgesic would have saved Lee's life.
There is so much misinformation surrounding the death of Lee I really cannot have this conversation. Believe what you will, but some objective investigation will probably change your mind. Bruce Lee had no "secrets of the kung fu" world, in fact he was abandoning most of it in favor of a more practical, eclectic system.
Furthermore, Lee began his classical training with Yip Man at age 13 and was in the US by age 18. His knowledge of Wing Chun was very incomplete and he had less than 5 years of study in a popular Hong Kong style, he didn't have any secrets to divulge other than his own personal realizations. There is also no "kung fu" mafia operating in Hong Kong making sure nobody learns secret Chinese arts, there is to the contrary a chain of schools known as Ching Wu that were established in many countries in order to promote correct, traditional Chinese boxing instruction. Given that one of these Ching Wu schools was based in San Francisco, I don't think they were hiding anything.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
