CBS Sports journalist Grant Wahl — one of the most respected soccer reporters in the country — died while covering the World Cup, his brother announced Friday. He was 48 years old.
Grant was in Qatar when he passed and Eric Wahl believes foul play was involved, as he claims the reporter was receiving death threats over wearing a rainbow shirt in support of the LGBTQ+ community.
Eric says Grant had zero health issues, explaining in a heartbreaking Instagram video, “I do not believe my brother just died. I believe he was killed.”
Grant Wahl was detained for nearly 30 minutes after World Cup security on Nov. 21, after he showed up to Ahmed bin Ali Stadium in Qatar for the United States’ first tournament game against Wales.

Also after his eighth booster.
Fox hypocrites love homophobes and hate gays.
Goes to a country where that’s banned, as it defies their religion, wears the shirt, and everyone’s surprised when he gets detained and ends up dead. Situation sucks but the rest of the world doesn’t support the woke bs of the West.
This is a horrible tragedy and my heart goes out to his family but if he was killed for protesting for gay rights in a Muslim country that’s the risk you are taking. These people have very strong beliefs and laws. When you go to a foreign country that doesn’t share the same values as we do you must respect their culture and laws even if you disagree with them. Just ask Britney Griner. These people don’t care what we think and you will change absolutely nothing. Don’t protest Qatar, protest FIFA for allowing them to host the World Cup.
🙏💙
I agree with the brother , they need to investigate his death and make Qatar face consequences for his death , Qatar shouldn’t host the World Cup to begin with , that country has long history of supporting terrorism, if Qatar behind his death , Qatar must pay
RIP
Sorry for the loss.
*died suddenly.
Look up the documentary
Can't say much on yt.
This is awful . So obvious.
So is there going to be an investigation?
Those countries are backwards. This is what we do NOT want here. Take note people.
Rest in peace, buddy. You had a passion and you took it to the end. That's the kind of people we need. Thank you.
What was the cause of death?
💉💉 What could have cause this? 💉💉
Grant Wahl.
Following are the things to consider in the sudden death of journalist- Grant Wahl.
The first consideration is, family history, if there was a sudden death of a blood relative, below the age of 45 or 40. Because of Brugada syndrome, which is a electrical conduction problem of the heart, that can cause sudden death in a person below the age of 40 or 45 during sleep and they may or may not have underlying structural heart disease.
This family history is important, since there are drugs that would worsen the syndrome including common antibiotics, so much so there, is a website dedicated to listing these drugs.
Now the past history, there is nothing to suggest that he had any pre-existing condition as we know of, including history of Covid.
Coming to the current situation, he complained of cough and nothing to suggest that he had shortness of breath or chest pain, until the day before, where he had a rattling cough and upper chest pressure which could be construed as chest pain.
Even though he visited the medical clinic twice, if he had viral myocarditis, it could have been easily missed, since Clinics in a stadium of this magnitude, are not equipped to evaluate and treat these conditions.
If he had pulmonary edema, which is fluid build up in the lungs, he would have had shortness of breath which was not the case as described by his colleagues sitting next to him.
The event was sudden, implying that this was probably viral myocarditis that caused hypotension and hypoxia, resulting in a sudden collapse and subsequent CPR and para- medical treatment, we are not sure as to the details, until an autopsy is done and investigation as to what the heart monitor showed ? whether he had a Electro mechanical disassociation ?
If there was a defibrillator or was it used etc.
An autopsy will show, if he had either myocarditis, pulmonary edema and or pneumonia, but at this time there is nothing to suggest that there was a foul play.
If he had taken his condition seriously and was seen in the emergency room, the outcome would have been different, since he was seemingly healthy 49 year old.
I knew that the World Cup in Qatar would be good from the beginning!…the whole world knew about it, the culture is very different, they are used to dictating what people should wear. After the Cup is over we will know the barbarities that happened to the international fans who went to Qatar.
The Jab?…
People!,,, You are living in the best country in the world,,, You have to understand you cannot act in other countries like you act in America… Besafe when traveling.
It's sad that he passed and I feel bad for him and his family. But as the saying goes "playing stupid games and win stupid prizes". I suspect this had a lot to do with him trying to push woke american agendas on a different culture and country.
As he refused to change his shirt, and because he is nothing in this world but trying to make "a show." The securities allowed him in with his shirt. Now he got what he wanted; he became famous for a few days (a few minutes, maybe) because no one cares about idiots. A stupid person who showed the world the stupidity of liberals and the ignorance of Americans who don't respect others and don't follow their rules.
I don't know how these Islamic countries want to portray a good image of themselves and then allow these things to happen. Against their own people and others. May peace be with you is their greeting, some of them are far from practicing it. Their mythology is not very well practiced nor portrayed, just like many other mythologies that do not get followed properly, including the christians
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
MURDERED for supporting the LGBTQ community.
So the MUZLIMZZZ killed em or did he overdose!?
Rest in peace
You left a beautiful legacy
You know what! As sad as this is. Qatar is not America! Dont go to a whole other country and try to run it! Try to put your own rules or rights! How tf am i going to tell you what to belive in in your home! Sad death but i mean, dont expect to do what you want Everywhere!🤷🏾♂️
Thousands of workers from other countries have died building their stadium. Lots of human rights violations but American government continues to overlook it because of the American base there ..anything to keep the war machine running right????
Talk about dying for a cause. I guess he was committed. Remember we never really die so it’s gonna be ok.
