His last photo was taken just minutes before the tragedy<\/p>\n
One of Prince William<\/a>\u2019s close friends died suddenly after swallowing a bee during a polo match, and now his final words have been revealed.<\/p>\n Sunjay Kapur, a billionaire businessman and father of three, tragically passed away on June 12th during a game at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor, England. He was 53.<\/p>\n Kapur was the chairman of the global car parts company Sona Comstar and was well known in both royal and business circles. He often played polo with Prince William and was a familiar face at high-society events.<\/p>\n What were Sunjay Kapur\u2019s final words?<\/p>\n Just moments before the game began, he posed for a smiling photo with a friend and fellow player, Jaisal Singh. That photo is now believed to be the last ever taken of him alive. Witnesses told The Telegraph<\/a> that shortly after that, Kapur suddenly cried out: \u201cI\u2019ve swallowed something!\u201d<\/p>\n Within seconds, he collapsed on the field. A bee had reportedly<\/a> flown into his mouth and stung him inside. The sting triggered anaphylactic shock, a severe allergic reaction that caused his heart to stop. According to the\u00a0Mayo Clinic,<\/a> stings in the mouth are extremely dangerous because they can block airways and quickly lead to cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n Despite help from medics on-site, Kapur could not be saved. The game was stopped, and teammates were left in shock.<\/p>\n At the time, he had been playing with his team Aureus in the Queen\u2019s Cup against the Sujan Indian Tigers, a match often attended by members of the British royal family.<\/p>\n Kapur\u2019s teammates later posted a tribute, saying: \u201cYou were the life and soul of our team. Your legacy will remain forever.\u201d<\/p>\n Kapur, who also held US citizenship, is survived by his wife Priya Sachdev and their son Azarias. He also had two children from his previous marriage to Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor.<\/p>\n For more,\u00a0like The Tab on Facebook<\/a>.
