Renowned Indian surgeon Naresh Trehan said that might've been the case. However, he added that anaphylactic shock cases are rare. Trehan explained to NDTV that Sunjay Kapur might've suffered from a heart attack after choking, or while playing polo.
Trehan added that a post-mortem will reveal the exact cause of death. While efforts are being made to bring his body back to India, the process has suffered multiple delays due to legal paperwork regarding his US citizenship.
During the match, Kapur reportedly told the umpire that he was choking and had "swallowed something" before collapsing. According to the Telegraph, he might've swallowed an insect or been stung by a bee.
Sunjay Kapur was married to Indian actress Karisma Kapoor, and while the couple had two children together, they split in 2016 due to marital problems.
