New York, November 19:Ā Travel influencer and photographer Anunay Sood was found dead in his room at the Wynn Las Vegas on November 4, with police documents indicating a suspected drug overdose, according to a report by LA-based outlet 8NewsNow. Officers reportedly discovered ā€œnarcoticsā€ near his body when they arrived at the scene and filed a non-criminal, medical report.

Sood, who had over 1.4 million Instagram followers and was attending the Las Vegas Concours 2025 car show, was staying with two women. One of them told investigators the group purchased what they believed to be cocaine from a man on the casino floor around 4 am. She said all three consumed the substance before falling asleep, and when the women woke about an hour later, Sood was unresponsive. Police recovered a small bag containing a white powder and evidence suggesting it had been snorted.Ā Anunay Sood Dies: Popular Travel Influencer and Photographer Passes Away, Family Urges To Respect Privacy.
