Grant Wahl, a highly revered soccer journalist, suddenly died last week while covering the FIFA World Cup in Qatar from a rupture in his aorta, the main blood vessel leading from the heart, his family said in a statement Wednesday.
The big picture: The family said Wahl's cause of death was determined through an autopsy performed by the New York City Medical Examiner's Office after his body was returned to the U.S. on Monday.
