The US sports journalist criticized the Qatari World Cup organizers over their treatment of migrant workers in a post a day before his unexpected death.
Days after being detained by security personnel for wearing a rainbow-coloured T-shirt during the match between the United States and Wales in Qatar, American journalist Grant Wahl passed away under mysterious circumstances on Saturday (December 10).
Wahl was covering the Quarter Final match between Argentina and the Netherlands at the Lusail Iconic Stadium when he collapsed and died during the extra time segment of the match.
The sports journalist had covered 8 world cups to date. “Just an incredible designed set-piece goal by the Netherlands,” he posted minutes before his death.
Wahl’s brother, Eric, suspects foul play from the Qatari government, alleging that Grant may have been murdered and had received threats to his life.
In an Instagram post, Eric Wahl informed that his brother Grant Wahl had received threats to his life.
