His wife is a doctor and the guy died from bronchitis? I had bronchitis and it will not kill you.

Yeah this seems suspicious being that he’s been badmouthing the country and wouldnt take off the rainbow crest or some shit.

Didnt SI fire him because he wouldn’t take a payout when COVID broke out?

**KVB** · 12-09-22, 11:39 PM

Dang, RIP.

Only 49.

**spurginobili** · 12-09-22, 11:52 PM

I guess there'll be an autopsy. We'll find out more then.

Guy was murdered. He had just posted a story about a recent migrant worker who had died blasting the head honchos of Qatar

**flyingillini** · 12-10-22, 12:39 AM

RIP. He was a real hero in his industry.

Wow, RIP.

I listened to a video of him previewing the World Cup with Mad Dog Russo. That was not more than four weeks ago. Yes, he said that Qatar had bribed its way to attaining the World Cup.

Smart move to talk badly about a country and then go there.

**jjgold** · 12-10-22, 07:10 AM

He has been sick a lot and ignored stuff

Also worked like a maniac

**flyingillini** · 12-10-22, 07:21 AM

Definitely poisoned. Those towel heads are ruthless

**jjgold** · 12-10-22, 09:26 AM

I think it was a chest issue fluid but who really knows

Abused himself and took no time for rest

Stop talking like you know anything.

This was a country (Qatar) sending a message. "Don't fuq with us."

Once he got there, it was easy pickings. Poison him...and he gone.

A soccer play that dies from lung issues does seem strange. They spend their entire lives running around like jack rabbits with cardio for days.

I wonder if he got fat and lazy though and started smoking it up? Lifestyles are everything when you hit 50ish in age.

Good post, Digg. Feel bad for the brother.

I'm SOMEWHAT familiar w/ Grant Wahl's work. Can't say I've read it all. I know that he was a respected journalist.

I think Grant took a view of telling it like it is. I referenced the Chris Russo interview from 11/17. That's only 23 days ago. Was just b4 the World Cup. Russo asked Wahl about Qatar winning the 2022 WC bid, and Wahl blankly stated that it was via bribe.

I 100% think Grant's death was via Foul Play. He upset someone that wasn't happy. Hope the US government does the right thing and investigates this.

Don't talk shit about ragheads while you are in raghead territory.

**StackinGreen** · 12-10-22, 11:20 AM

I liked Wahl's coverage historically, but don't know about recent activity, sounds like he got more of the SJW bug, which also came with the "vaccine" poison, which is the most likely cause of death. Ironic since his wife is an NYU epidemiology vaccine mandate hack.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 12-10-22, 11:22 AM

RIP

It sure is a coincidence but I'll wait for the autopsy before I cry foul. Way too many times people jump the gun in today's age of social media.

Either way, it wasn't very smart to wear that rainbow shirt out there and make yourself a potential target.

**pologq** · 12-10-22, 11:29 AM

seems very very very suspect

He was a journalist... not a player.

**JIBBBY** · 12-10-22, 11:41 AM

Drug overdose could be the culprit also if he liked to get high. Never know what people do behind closed doors and in secret? Got fentanyl?

Oh ok. I never heard of him and thought he was a player. My bad.

**jjgold** · 12-10-22, 11:43 AM

Sad story regardless

Seemed like a very good guy

As usual, you barely read headlines, never read the story, and didn't even read the original post of this thread.

Yet you posted anyway, like you knew, but you never know.

Don't know how or if you're ever going to get back in the circle of trust, Jibbs.
