Grant Wahl, the well-known and respected soccer reporter, died as a result of a rupture to an undetected ascending aortic aneurysm, his widow posted on his popular Substack Wednesday.
An autopsy performed by the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office, after Wahl’s body returned to the U.S. on Dec. 12, determined that Wahl’s unexpected passing during the World Cup earlier this month was something that could not have been averted by medical officials onsite.
