Journalist Grant Wahl’s fatal collapse during a Friday’s World Cup game may have been a result of an illness he was suffering from.
Before his death, he openly discussed having bronchitis.
Wahl, 49, suggested his conditions were improving but were far from 100%.
Wahl collapsed Friday while he was covering the Argentina-Netherlands soccer match. CPR was performed at the stadium and he was Ubered to a hospital, but died.
CBS News reported that he suffered a heart attack.
However, his brother, Eric, who also confirmed Grant’s death with a video believes there was foul play involved.
Grant received death threats in Qatar after he was detained by stadium security last month when he wore a rainbow-themed T-shirt in support of LGBTQ+ rights.
The ordeal became a big story and led to Qatar threatening to force any LGBTQ+ protests during the tournament to stop.
