Sailendra Nath Roy trying the stunt, moments before his death
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 feat on the Teesta river in West Bengal when he suffered a heart attack.
Hundreds of spectators watched his last moments in horror.
In March 2011, Mr Roy was named a Guinness World Record holder for travelling the farthest distance on a zip wire using hair.
He worked as a driver for the police.
Mr Roy was trying to cross the Coronation Bridge over the Teesta river near Siliguri town suspended from a zip wire 600ft (180m) long at a height of 70ft (20m).
Hanging for 45 minutes:-
A large number of people had gathered on the bridge to watch the feat.
Witnesses said that Mr Roy appeared to make no progress after covering about 300ft (90m).
'He was desperately trying to move forward. He was trying to scream out some instruction. But no one could follow what he was saying. After struggling for 30 minutes he became still,' said Balai Sutradhar, a photographer, who was covering the stunt.
Police said he was hanging for nearly 45 minutes before he was brought down.
Doctors at the hospital said he had suffered a 'massive heart attack'.

A stuntman’s attempt to cross India’s Teesta River by his ponytail, a pulley and a zipline proved fatal.
Sailendra Nath Roy, a Guinness World Record holder for traveling the farthest distance on a zipline using his hair, died from a heart attack Sunday while trying to repeat the stunt, BBC reports.
Roy had attached his hair to a pulley and was attempting to cross the 600-foot long zip wire that hung 70 feet above the water when his hair became tangled roughly halfway across and he became stuck.
'He was desperately trying to move forward. He was trying to scream out some instruction. But no one could follow what he was saying. After struggling for 30 minutes, he became still,' Balai Sutradhar, a photographer, told BBC.
Roy hanged for 45 minutes before being pulled to shore. Besides his lifejacket, no emergency measures were implemented. Police say Roy didn’t have permission to perform the stunt.
“Preliminary investigations suggest that Roy suffered a heart attack caused by a nervous breakdown after remaining suspended for several minutes,' B.R. Satpathi, from West Bengal state's medical services, told India Times.
His family watched the stunt, which he said would be his last, a friend told BBC.
In 2011, Roy made it into the Guinness World Records for crossing 270.6 feet on a zipwire using his hair. Last year, he tied a chain to his hair and dragged an eng

The world record holder was trying to cross the River Teesta on a 600ft zip-line suspended by his hair when he became entangled.
An Indian man who holds the Guinness World Record for covering the longest distance on a zip-line while hanging by his hair has died while performing a stunt.
Sailendra Nath Roy, a 49-year-old police officer, was attempting to cross the River Teesta in the state of West Bengal on Sunday on a 180m (594ft) wire above the water.
After attaching his shoulder-length hair to a pulley on the wire, Mr Roy had completed around half the distance but then became entangled and found himself unable to move.
Hundreds of spectators initially cheered him on, but then began screaming in horror when they saw he was making increasingly desperate attempts to move forward.
Senior police officer K Jayaraman said: 'Roy tried frantically to get hold of a second rope to reach the finishing point.'
After several minutes, Mr Roy stopped moving and was eventually rescued. No ambulance or doctor was present during the stunt.
He was admitted to hospital in nearby Siliguri, but was declared dead by doctors after a suspected heart attack.
A post-mortem examination is expected to be completed later on Monday.
