'It's just one of these things that had been likely brewing for years,” Dr. Celine Gounder told 'CBS Mornings' after her husband's sudden death at the World Cup in Qatar.
“His death was unrelated to COVID. His death was unrelated to vaccination status. There was nothing nefarious about his death,” she wrote. Wahl, who had garnered a reputation as one of the country’s most established soccer journalists, was reporting on the World Cup for his Substack and serving as an analyst for CBS Sports.
On his Substack, Wahl earlier reported that he went to a local medical center after feeling unwell. Last Friday, Wahl collapsed in the stadium press room while covering the quarterfinal match between Argentina and the Netherlands, and paramedics were unable to revive him. Gounder during her CBS appearance recounted her shock at the sudden passing of her husband. “I kept on asking: did he have a pulse? If he had a pulse when he left the stadium that would have been a good sign, but no one would answer the question. And so, to me, I was scared,” she recalled to King.
Gounder added the subsequent outpouring by the soccer community over Wahl’s death had brought immense comfort. “To know that he was loved by so many people makes me feel a little less alone. It’s like a warm hug when you really need it,” she insisted.
