One person offered a possible explanation for the sudden collapse from the royal guard: “Syncope from locking knees? Extremely common in military formations but usually outside on a warm day.

“Keep knees bent and wiggle toes, and isometrically tense leg muscles if standing still for very long periods to make sure blood keeps moving around well.”

The incident looked eerily similar to that of a Saudi businessman who collapsed and reportedly died back in August.

A video at the time reportedly showed the moment a Saudi businessman died after collapsing during a speech he was giving at the Arab-African Conference in Cairo.

The Saudi businessman was giving a speech at the conference in “support of the achievements of [Egyptian] President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi” when he collapsed and reportedly died on Monday, August 8.
