Billionaire friend of Prince William dies in freak polo match accident

In a tragic and unexpected incident, Sunjay Kapur, a dear friend of Prince William, passed away suddenly after being stung by a bee during a polo match in England. Kapur, a 53-year-old Indian billionaire and chairman of global auto parts company Sona Comstar, tragically collapsed on the field due to a severe allergic reaction triggered by the bee sting. Witnesses recall Kapur clutching his throat and uttering, “I’ve swallowed something” before collapsing. The unprecedented sting, which occurred directly inside his mouth, induced a fatal anaphylactic shock leading to cardiac arrest. Despite the rareness of such reactions to insect stings, medical experts stress that immediate treatment is vital to prevent fatalities. Prince William, who shared a passion for polo with Kapur, has chosen not to publicly address the loss. The two had a longstanding friendship often intertwined with their mutual love for sports. Kapur’s company later confirmed his passing, citing it as a result of a "sudden heart attack" in a statement. Recognized for his leadership in transforming Sona Comstar into a global mobility technology innovator, Kapur was also a notable figure in Indian high society. Prior to his death, his estimated net worth was $1.2 billion according to Forbes. Sunjay Kapur’s untimely departure has not only left a void in the business world but also in the esteemed circles of British and Indian elites, from corporate boardrooms to royal polo arenas.
