Was It a Bee Sting or a Heart Attack That Caused Karisma Kapoor’s Ex-Husband Sunjay Kapur’s Death?
Billionaire businessman and polo enthusiast Sunjay Kapur collapsed during a match in England on June 12, 2025, sparking questions over the cause of his sudden death.
Collapsed Mid-Game
The 53-year-old reportedly complained of choking moments before collapsing. Early reports suggested he may have swallowed a bee.
Bee Sting or Heart Attack?
Unconfirmed reports suggest a bee sting may have triggered an allergic reaction. Doctors are weighing in on possible causes as the final post-mortem report is awaited.
Cardiologist Dr. Naresh Trehan said anaphylactic shock from a bee sting is rare, and more clarity will come from the post-mortem report.
How Bee Stings Can Turn Fatal
Dr. Ashish Agrawal explained that in allergic individuals, bee venom—especially when stinging the tongue—can cause cardiac arrest.
Similar Tragedy in 2022
In 2022, polo player Madhav Buchi Prakash died of a heart attack mid-game in Delhi, raising concern about intense sports and cardiac risks.
Kapur is survived by wife Priya and son Azarius. He also has two children with actor Karisma Kapoor, his ex-wife.
