The death of Al Misslam has come to light on Sunday as he became the second journalist to pass away during the World Cup in Qatar, after the American reporter Grant Wahl.
At the moment, according to La Gazzetta, the cause of the tragic event are unknown.
Khalid Al Misslam was a photojournalist for the Qatari channel Al Kass TV.
So far, no further information has been released about Al Misslam’s death.
The Gulf Times, a Qatari news outlet, sent its condolences to the family via social media.
This event happened a few hours after Grant Wahl’s death. On Friday, December 9, US Soccer reported that the American journalist died while covering the World Cup. Initial reports revealed that Wahl, 48, was covering the match between Argentina and the Netherlands at the Lusail Stadium.
Thus, this World Cup in Qatar has so far left two fatalities in the media. And both within a few hours of each other.
