Was he ever featured on air or was his work for CBS strictly online? The CBS Sports article seems to indicate the latter.

Yes, he's made appearances on their online sports stream CBS Sports HQ & he also was a part of FOX's coverage of the last World Cup back in 2018 in Russia.

His brother is claiming he was murdered due to his negative reports on Qatar and its social policies as well as questioning the hundreds of workers who died building the World Cup facilities.

His brother is claiming he was murdered due to his negative reports on Qatar and its social policies as well as questioning the hundreds of workers who died building the World Cup facilities.

It does seem suspicious.

It does seem suspicious.

Now his brother "regrets" suggesting that Qatar may have had reason to kill the journalist.

Exclusive | Grant Wahl’s brother says he ‘regrets’ suggesting that reporter was killed while covering World Cup in Qatar

The brother of US soccer journalist Grant Wahl, who died while covering the World Cup in Qatar, says he no longer suspects foul play in his sibling’s death and “regrets’’ the claim.

The Post being another tentacle in the Murdoch media empire, of course this story is their exclusive. Wouldn't be surprised if some "condolence cash" from News Corp. has made its way into brother's account.

Soccer journalist Grant Wahl died of undetected aortic aneurysm - wife

The wife of journalist Grant Wahl said Wahl's death last week while covering the World Cup was due to an undetected aortic aneurysm.

www.espn.com

Wahl's wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, said Wednesday that an autopsy was conducted by the New York City Medical Examiner's Office.

"Grant died from the rupture of a slowly growing, undetected ascending aortic aneurysm with hemopericardium," she wrote on her husband's Substack newsletter; hemopericardium refers to blood in the sac that surrounds the heart.

"The chest pressure he experienced shortly before his death may have represented the initial symptoms. No amount of CPR or shocks would have saved him. His death was unrelated to COVID. His death was unrelated to vaccination status. There was nothing nefarious about his death."

i get the feeling that some of these heart related deaths aren't related from the vaccine but the virus that cause the creation of the vaccine itself as Covid has been known to do long term health damage as we seen in the last 3 years. these antivaxxers aren't gonna give credit to the virus itself for damaging a persons insides that could lead to death.

Don't forget another factor some people had no idea they have a genetic defect until it's too late. Or in some cases the defect was previously unrecognized until further evidence and investigations verified that the defect is common but somehow certain conspiracy theorists made an unrelated death connect to vaccines for politics.
