High-Profile Swiss-American, Gary Carolus Benzel, Dies in Toronto Following Sudden Lung Collapse

Renowned Swiss-American businessman and international contractor, Gary Carolus Benzel, passed away in the early hours of Sunday, November 30, 2025, in Toronto. His death came as a shock, especially as it occurred shortly after he regained his freedom following a lengthy legal and detention ordeal. Cause of Death: Medical sources confirm that Gary’s death was caused by a sudden lung collapse, medically known as a pneumothorax. This condition occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall, putting pressure on the lung and causing it to collapse partially or fully. Medical Background Leading to His Death: Gary had reportedly been suffering from severe respiratory distress in the weeks prior to his release. Upon medical evaluation, he was diagnosed with pneumonia and electrolyte imbalances, which indicated malnutrition and physical deterioration likely worsened by his time in detention. Emergency medical teams responded, but despite resuscitation efforts, he was pronounced dead due to complications from the collapsed lung. His death marks a tragic end to a life marked by international prominence, legal battles, and personal resilience.
