Questions also continued about

Lee’s studio reported that the
actor collapsed at his home and
was taken by ambulance to a
hospital, where he died less than
an hour later. But two Hong
Kong newspapers subsequently
carried stories claiming Lee had
collapsed at the home of actress
Betty Ting Pei.
The stories, reportedly based
on information from ambulance
attendants, were denied by the
actress and by Lee’s studio. Lee’s
American widow was quoted as
insisting from Seattle that Lee
collapsed at his home.
Authorities at the hospital said
they had no information on where
Lee was before he died or where
he was picked up. Officials at
the ambulance service
refused
to discuss the case further with
newsmen.
