practising the art of Wing Chun which is a popular style of Kung Fu and quickly became a master at his craft. After appearing in TV Shows and several Hollywood blockbusters which were centred around his craft, he became a legend in the industry before his untimely death on the 20th July 1973 at the age of 32, there have been numerous rumours surrounding his sudden death but one that has always been very prominent is that he accidentally overdosed on painkillers, he had never taken them before so the dosage he took was too much for his body to handle.
