A billionaire friend of Prince William has died aged 53 after reportedly swallowing a bee.
Indian businessman Sunjay Kapur collapsed while playing polo in England yesterday, it has been claimed.
Mr Kapur, chairman of global car parts giant Sona Comstar, had hours earlier paid tribute online to the victims of yesterday’s Air India plane crash tragedy.
He posted: ‘Terrible news of the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected. May they find strength in this difficult hour.’
Reports have suggested he was stung by a bee in the mouth, potentially sparking an anaphylactic shock causing a heart attack.
Author and actor Suhel Seth posted on X, formerly Twitter: ‘Deeply saddened at the passing of @sunjaykapur: he passed away earlier today in England.
‘A terrible loss and deepest condolences to his family and to his colleagues.’
Mr Kapur’s former wife, Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor, has previously spoken in interviews about him playing polo with the Prince of Wales.
