A SECOND journalist has died suddenly while covering the World Cup, just 48 hours after Grant Wahl passed away.
Qatari photojournalist Khalid al-Misslam, who was working for Al Kass TV, died on Sunday.
Earlier Wahl, 48, died suddenly from a reported heart attack while reporting on the Netherlands versus Argentina quarter final match in Doha.
US media seated near him said Wahl fell back in his seat during extra time before other journalists called for assistance.
Emergency services rushed to the scene but he tragically died later on.
The journalist was covering his eighth World Cup, and made headlines earlier in the tournament when he claimed he was refused entry to a game for wearing a rainbow T-shirt.
Eric Wahl posted a video on Instagram on Friday in which he questioned the circumstances surrounding the death.
He wrote: “My name is Eric Wahl. I live in Seattle, Washington. I am Grant Wahl’s brother. I’m gay.
"I’m the reason he wore the rainbow shirt to the World Cup. My brother was healthy.
"He told me he received death threats. I do not believe my brother just died. I believe he was killed. And I just beg for any help.”

Anywhere else on the pitch that is a foul.
Could even argue that he'd score had the keeper not impeded him.
But yes, the keeper had no room to manoeuvre. He stood his ground but once he made no contact with the ball he was in trouble
