Brother of American journalist Grant Wahl who died at World Cup believes he was killed

Tributes have been pouring in for US journalist Grant Wahl, who has died at the World Cup in Qatar.

Wahl, who wrote on Monday that he had visited a hospital in the desert stare after feeling unwell, died suddenly while reporting on the quarter-final match between Argentina and the Netherlands at the Lusail Stadium, with witnesses claiming that he fell back in his seat as fellow reporters called for assistance.

Wahl's brother Eric has claimed that Grant could have been killed after he had "received death threats" after he wore a rainbow flag t-shirt to a match earlier in the competition.
