Reports say he keeled over in his seat with witnesses all around. He noted he felt very sick with chest pressure for the last week. It could be a lot of things, but killing him would highlight his work in humanitarianism, including coverage of migrant worker deaths in Qatar; not a likely move because it wouldn't be a good one.

Exactly, people are trying to compare this with Khashoggi, which was carried out without the world's media watching and still blew up in the Saudi's face's.

There are many prominent journalists reporting on exactly the same issues he was, so murdering him would achieve nothing.

His brother is probably distraught and it's awful but people are jumping to conclusions way too fast.

Having said that, if it turns out to be true it's fucking wild.
