American soccer journalist Grant Wahl, who collapsed and died while covering the World Cup match between Argentina and Netherlands in Qatar last weekend, died of a ruptured blood vessel, according to autopsy results.
The autopsy, conducted by the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office, shows that Wahl died from the rupture “of a slowly growing, undetected ascending aortic aneurysm with hemopericardium,” Wahl’s wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, wrote in a note on her husband’s website.
