Kyle Busch, the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, died at the age of 41. A medical expert has weighed in on what might have happened to Busch, citing a possible link to a 'sinus cold' he suffered from before his death.

According to a radio message from the May 10 Cup Series race at Watkins Glen, Busch was suffering from a 'sinus cold' and had requested a doctor visit him after the race, noting that he needed a 'shot'. However, the cause of the shot was not made clear.

Dr. Jesse Morse, a board-certified Family and Sports Medicine physician, shared an insight into Busch's circumstances, stating that he was 'not sure what exactly happened over the past 10 days but he just unexpectedly passed away, earlier today.'

A person who goes by Dr. S on X replied 'Frontal sinusitis can, and I've seen it, progress to acute meningitis.' However, it could not be verified if said individual is a medical professional.

The Busch family, Richard Childress Racing, and NASCAR released a joint statement on his sudden demise, calling him a 'future Hall of Famer' and a 'rare talent' who 'cared deeply about the sport and fans.'
