Vivek Chadha, 33, mysteriously collapsed and died after partying in a Mayfair nightclub. Chadha, who has links to the Conservative Party, was found dead in London in the early hours of Sunday. Chadha ran the Nine Group, which made investments in properties and had a chain of hotels. The 33-year-old had, only two months ago, married Stuttee Chaddha, 29, in a mammoth ceremony at the five-star JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane. Stuttee said while talking to MailOnline, “There are no words to describe what has happened. I’m in shock and still trying to make sense of it. We only got married eight weeks ago and it was beautiful. Now I’m having to deal with the loss of the love of my life. I’m stunned and heartbroken.” “He did not die at his central London address but was at another location when it happened. We don’t know the full facts yet and are waiting to establish what exactly occurred,” the Daily Mail quoted a source close to Vivek as saying. The media outlet also reported that Vivek's friends said that his family was informed late as the reason behind his death was not clear. As per the initial reports, his death was a direct result of a heart attack, which many believe occurred at his London residence. Due to his relatively younger age and no known health conditions, it is likely that a post-mortem of his body will be conducted.
