Reply to comment by adamchain in U.S. sportswriter Grant Wahl dies in Qatar during World Cup by kieranjackwilson

>He got poisoned.

Source?

"There's no source cause I made it the fuck up"

Quote from CNBC:

In a post Dec. 5 on his personal website, Wahl said he felt sick and that medical personnel on-site at the World Cup told him he probably had bronchitis. He said he was given antibiotics.“My body finally broke down on me,” he wrote. “Three weeks of little sleep, high stress and lots of work can do that to you. What had been a cold over the last 10 days turned into something more severe on the night of the USA-Netherlands game, and I could feel my upper chest take on a new level of pressure and discomfort.”

He also stated he felt better after the antibiotics which is often times intentionally left from these quotes.

You questioned a "source" and then you referenced CNBC as a (credible?) source...? That's rich.
