Travel Creator Anunay Sood (32) Dies Suddenly — Viral Las Vegas Post & Mystery Surrounding His Passing
Travel influencer and photographer Anunay Sood, known for his adventurous spirit and luxury escapes, has died at just 32. The news came in a statement from his family, who asked for privacy. What makes the moment even more haunting: his final post, shared from Las Vegas, went viral after his sudden demise.
Las Vegas Weekend: The Final Post
On the weekend just before his passing, Sood shared images and video clips from a high-profile car event in Las Vegas. His caption read:
“Still can’t believe I spent the weekend surrounded by legends and dream machines. Which one would you take for a spin??”
That post, capturing him amid super-cars and famed personalities, drew thousands of likes and became a poignant part of the story after his death.
The account noted that the comments on that post had been disabled — it remains unclear whether that was done by Sood himself or by family/friends. A user commented on Reddit:
“I know someone who … said he died in Vegas from cardiac arrest in his sleep.”
Sudden Passing & Family Statement
Sood’s family confirmed his passing via social-media. In their official note they wrote:
“It is with deep sadness that we share the news of our beloved Anunay Sood’s passing. We kindly ask for your understanding and privacy as we navigate this difficult time. We humbly request you to avoid gathering crowd near personal property. Please keep his family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. May his soul rest in peace.”
No cause of death has been officially disclosed. Speculation ranges from cardiac arrest to other health issues or accident.

Girlfriend’s Tribute & Social Aftermath
His rumoured girlfriend, Shivani Parihar, based in Jaipur, posted an emotional tribute on Instagram:
“I still can’t believe you’re gone. My heart feels heavy … You were my person, my safe place, my life, my everything…”
The post was later deleted from her feed, though a version appeared in her Instagram stories. The deletion has sparked further speculation about grief and privacy.
Meanwhile, Sood’s community of fellow creators and fans have poured out condolences. Several posted messages referencing how full of life he was, and how the news remains difficult to swallow.
Speculation & Unknowns
Because the cause of death has not been officially confirmed, rumour and conjecture swirl:
- Some Reddit threads suggest a cardiac arrest in Las Vegas.
- Others allege overdose or accident, though these claims remain unverified.
- The family’s request for privacy and avoidance of crowding near personal property emphasizes the delicate nature of the situation.
Until formal details are released, all such speculation must be treated cautiously.
Legacy & Impact
