Remember, longtime American sports journalist Grant Wall died of a sudden aneurysm while covering the soccer World Cup in Qatar. He is 49 years old.
Val’s wife Dr. Celine Gounder said Wall died of a “slow-growing, non-ascending aortic aneurysm with hemopericardium”.
“He had an autopsy done in New York by the New York City medical examiner’s office, and it showed that he ruptured an aortic aneurysm,” Gounder told CBS News on Thursday.
