The brother of Grant Wahl, the U.S. reporter covering the World Cup in Qatar who died last week, backpedaled on allegations his brother's death was caused by foul play.
Recounting his anguish upon learning of his brother's death, Eric Wahl explained that he doesn't"know anything for sure" and that his accusations stemmed from concerning threats his brother received in the run-up to his death. The family recently met with medical examiners to learn details about Grant Wahl's passing."The family will release a statement as to [the] cause of death soon. I no longer suspect foul play.
Grant, 48, had reported critically on Qatar, the host of the 2022 World Cup, for its domestic policies that target the LGBT community. At one point, he recounted getting harassed and detained by a security guard for roughly 30 minutes while he was wearing a T-shirt with a rainbow surrounding a soccer ball. Officials eventually relented and let him through.
Eric later revealed that his brother had health ailments such as bronchitis and apologized for being so quick to predict foul play.
