Prince William’s longtime friend, Sunjay Kapur, has died at age 53 after swallowing a bee, which had triggered a fatal heart attack.

The billionaire businessman and chairman of global car parts giant Sona Comstar collapsed during a polo match in England on Thursday, the Mirror reports.

Kapur, who is the former husband of Bollywood superstar Karisma Kapoor, was stung by a bee on the mouth, which subsequently triggered anaphylactic shock that caused his heart to stop, the outlet added.

Awful way to go.

I remember locally many years ago, a person who was riding a motorcycle and choked to death on a humming bird that got into his open mouth. Strange things happen.

[Joe 6-pack]

Sounds like he was set up in a sting operation.

[ConservativeMind]

He swallowed it and did not breathe it in?

[Steve Van Doorn]

said, " choked to death on a humming bird.. "
That seems more plausible

Is that what they call heavily vaxxed these days, bee swallowing?

Apparently you don’t need an allergy for internal stings to kill you.
