An Indian stuntman who held the Guinness World Record for travelling on a zip wire by his ponytail, has died during his latest attempt at the feat.
Sailendra Nath Roy was performing the stunt to large crowds who lined a bridge on the Teesta river in West Bengal, when he suffered a heart attack.
Witnesses said he was hanging from the wire for 45mins, with no emergency services present as he performed the stunt.
Police said he had not sought permission to attempt the feat, and had set up the wire himself with friends, earlier on Sunday morning.
