Grant Wahl: US football journalist’s cause of death revealed

Grant Wahl, renowned US football journalist who passed away while covering World Cup 2022 in Qatar, died due to an aortic aneurysm, his wife has said.

Releasing a statement, Dr Celine Gounder said she wanted to “make sure the conspiracy theories were put to rest” after speculation about her late husband’s death.

“Grant died from the rupture of a slowly growing, undetected ascending aortic aneurysm with hemopericardium,” she wrote in a blog post.

“His death was unrelated to Covid. His death was unrelated to vaccination status. There was nothing nefarious about his death.”
