journalists-cause-of-death-at-world-cup/
The brother of influential US soccer journalist Grant Wahl, who died while
covering the World Cup in Qatar on Friday, says he no longer suspects foul
play in his sibling’s death.
Grant Wahl, 49, had a “death rattle cough” from a stubborn case of
bronchitis shortly before he collapsed while covering Argentina’s quarter-
final win against the Netherlands, his brother Eric Wahl said.
Eric previously speculated foul play may have been involved since the
soccer writer was an outspoken critic of the Qatari government and
received death threats after wearing a rainbow shirt to a match.
But Tuesday, the brother wrote on Twitter, “The family will release a
statement as to cause of death soon. I no longer suspect foul play. It was
not [pulmonary embolism].”
Eric backtracked on an earlier tweet from Monday in which he said, “It
seems possible Grant experienced a pulmonary embolism & was in non-
shockable state.”
He also claimed there was no portable defibrillator in the stadium but
then Monday issued a correction on Twitter, writing that “per a US gov
official, FIFA is saying AEDs were available at the stadium,” referring to
the devices.
It’s unclear why a defibrillator was not used on Wahl.
Grant Wahl’s body was brought to New York City on Monday for an
independent autopsy. His widow, Dr. Céline Gounder, an infectious-disease
physician who works at Bellevue Hospital, brought his body to a city
medical examiner Monday.

Grant participated and in, and supported this event by reporting on it,
spending money in Qatar, but claims the moral high ground by simply
wearing a t shirt.
He knew full well the politics and culture on the ground there in Qatar.
Had he really wanted to make a stand, he could've boycotted the event and
refused to attend...But there's no money in that.
Classic virtue signaling...

Flying the fruit flag is a great way to invite unwarranted bodily injury.
Common Sense.

I’ll never understand how wearing a shirt with a symbol that announces
what one enjoys doing in the bedroom is a form of “honoring” someone.
