An Indian Guinness World Record holder who attempted to cross a river suspended from a zip wire attached to his ponytail has died during the stunt.

Sailendra Nath Roy, 48, was performing the stunt on the Teesta river in West Bengal state when he suffered a heart attack.

In March 2011, Mr Roy was named a Guinness World Record holder for travelling the farthest distance on a zip wire using hair.

It's a shame his heart wasn't as strong as his hair. I guess when your times up it's up no matter what you're doing at the time.
