15 Celebs you forgot died in the 90s and the real stories behind their deaths (With Pictures)

8. Brandon Lee (March 31st, 1993)

Brandon Lee was the son of the famous martial artist, Bruce Lee. He, like his father, followed a path of acting and martial arts. He starred alongside Dolph Lundgren in the film Showdown in Little Tokyo and is recognized for his role in The Crow — his last film. He was engaged to Eliza Hutton and planned to start a family with her before his death.

On the set of The Crow, there was a scene involving a prop .44 Magnum revolver. Co-star Michael Massee was to shoot Lee with a blank in the scene. However, there was a bullet lodged in the barrel. When the blank was triggered, the bullet was launched with a force similar to a live round and hit Lee in the stomach. Brandon Lee died of his wound soon afterward.
