Business consultant Suhel Seth reportedly told ANI, Sunjay was riding a horse and playing polo when he accidentally swallowed a bee. The bee then got stuck in his throat, causing irritation and a state of panic, which led to a heart attack. The businessman succumbed to a heart attack.
Despite the reports, his company, Sona Comstar, in its statement, did not disclose the reason for his death. Thus, an official word on the cause of death is not out yet.
Sunjay Kapur funeral
Sunjay’s father-in-law and the father of his wife Priya Sachdev, Ashok Sachdev, reportedly told NDTV that Sunjay's funeral will take place in Delhi. He said, “The postmortem is currently underway. Once the paperwork is complete, the body will be brought to India for the last rites." Meanwhile, reports claim that the funeral may be delayed due to certain legal formalities which are required due to his US citizenship.

According to sources, "The complication arises from the fact that Sunjay was a US citizen who passed away in the UK, leading to an extended legal process before his body can be flown to India for the final rites."
Sunjay Kapur was actor Karisma Kapoor's former husband. The couple became parents to daughter Samaira in 2005 and son Kiaan in 2011. In 2014, Karisma and Sanjay filed for divorce through mutual consent. Their divorce was finalised in 2016. After the separation, Sunjay married Priya Sachdev.
