Shocking news. This was his most recent post. Not surprised if the powers that be didn't take well to it: https://grantwahl.substack.com/p/world-cup-daily-day-25

It's important to keep a distinction between Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Their internal values may be similar from a human rights perspective but they are very different countries on the world stage politically.

The ITV documentary about Qatar showed they're very much not above disappearing people that were reporting on/highlighting worker issues.

The fact he died being terrible aside, I hope it was just natural causes and his family will get some closure but as said in other posts, the lingering side eyes say it all. I'm also curious why his family seem so sure it was foul play.

So far it seems like only his brother is publicly saying that he thinks Wahl was killed because Wahl told him about the death threats he received after the rainbow shirt incident. It sounds like the family and US State Dept made it clear they want his body repatriated as soon as possible for examination, and the Qataris seem on board with that. Wahl's wife is a fairly prominent doctor in the US so I'm hopeful that clearer heads will prevail in the case it wasn't foul play.
