The team also shared that the picture was taken moments before they mounted up to play the semi-final match during which Kapur passed away following a heart attack.
Sunjay Kapur's last words
Sunjay reportedly suffered a heart attack while playing polo in London. A new Telegraph report claims that his last words have now been revealed. According to the report, witnesses at the polo match heard the billionaire say, "I've swallowed something." This led many to believe he had swallowed an insect.
Business consultant Suhel Seth reportedly told ANI that Sunjay was riding a horse and playing polo when he accidentally swallowed a bee. The bee got stuck in his throat, causing irritation and panic, which triggered a heart attack. Unfortunately, the businessman could not be revived.
Despite these reports, his company, Sona Comstar, did not disclose the cause of death in its official statement. Therefore, an official confirmation is still awaited.
