Grant Wahl's cause of death confirmed after journalist collapsed during World Cup game

Football journalist Grant Wahl's cause of death has been confirmed after he collapsed during the World Cup quarter-final between Argentina and Netherlands on Friday.

News of Wahl's sudden death shocked the football world following the match at the Lusail Stadium, with the American journalist tweeting updates just moments before he collapsed as the game headed into extra-time. His final tweet came just after the Netherlands scored in the 101st minute, as he wrote: "Just an incredible designed set-piece goal by the Netherlands."

The LA Times reported that he was treated for 20 minutes after he collapsed and then was removed from the stadium on a stretcher and taken to a Qatari hospital where he was pronounced dead.
