Grant Wahl died after suffering an aortic aneurysm while covering the World Cup in Qatar, his wife has confirmed.
Earlier in the tournament, he made headlines after he was refused entry to a stadium for wearing a rainbow shirt in support of LGBT rights in Qatar, where there is a strict and prohibitive regime. Wahl's brother, who is gay, claimed his sibling was killed but later retracted this allegation. "An autopsy was performed by the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office. Grant died from the rupture of a slowly growing, undetected ascending aortic aneurysm with hemopericardium. The chest pressure he experienced shortly before his death may have represented the initial symptoms.
