RIP. How tragic. His body was giving him signals. Chest pain. 😔

the Argentina and Netherlands game was too much to handle. RIP

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Very sad..so young.

Qatar don't play. 🌈 ☠️

So?

Poisoned, inoculations, illness, Who cares enough to find and speak the truth?

Died suddenly

The braid dead anti vaxxers are jumping all over this story to advance their silly conspiracy theories.

Did Qatar kill him or was it from the vaccine induced SADS? Healthy adults don't just die suddenly.

Why no mention of what his brother said?

Qatar - what else you expect

Reporter openly critical of the Country he was staying in. This seems legit.

Watching so much soccer, he died of boredom

DiedSuddenly

I'm sure he had 5 boosters

If your body is really breaking down on you and you’re fully aware of that then take time off and rest your damn self….sorry but you can’t do that now…now you have eternal and everlasting rest..RIP.

Who else died after accepted award aboard you ask? 🇨🇦 Dr Frank Plummer, 67, National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, a handful of laboratories in the world to work with highly pathogenic viruses. He died of heart attack in Nairobi. Xiangguo Qiu (邱香果) also worked there.⚠️

People just die. Even healthy people, no matter the age. Happens every day, just part of life. Sad.

This is a daily occurrence now. I wonder what it could be? 🙄

Apparently we're supposed to ignore the daily unexplained deaths to athletes. Just look away. They don't like the obvious cause. Let's wait until media creates an explanation like.

Was he C vaccinated?

Too much heat in the desert.. staying hyderated is key in that part of the world

For sure

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.

He wasn’t well . RIP. Very sad. He wrote in his blog

DiedSuddenly_

Here come the “died by vax” mouth breathers.

The vaxx?

Seems eerily coincidental that he releases this article just the day before he died in Qatar.

Was he vaccinated and boosted?

Whoops

Died by the jab

There’s journalism in action

He took the vaccine proudly. And then this happened…

Well at least I'm confident that I'm not just gonna keel over and die unexpectedly.

Healthy young man Just suddenly died hmmm. Lots of that happening lately

Kilzine strikes again!

Another victim of climate change.

'safe & effective' 💉

This story is exactly like many others. It’s COVID. A lot of young people are dying like this. If you think COVID is not severe and you have mild infection, wait till it destroys your body over time. And test are useless agains new variants. It could also be prior infection.

Does? Or life taken

Very unfortunate. elonmusk - need to implement more options other than the 'like' button. Obviously, this one's not worth liking. Perhaps you can add additional icons such as 'Support', 'Unfortunate', 'Dislike', etc. Just a suggestion for more options.

maybe FIFA shouldn't host their prestigious tournament in a joke of a country that doesn't believe in human rights
