A Guard From Kenya Dies In Qatar After Argentina's Quarter Final Victory Against The Netherlands.

A defender has died at the Lusail Stadium after falling from the World Cup stadium in Qatar after Argentina's quarter-final victory over the Netherlands. Kenyan John Njau Kibue was initially said to be in a good but serious condition - however, he died after three days in hospital. Qatari organizers say they are investigating the circumstances that led to the crash as a matter of urgency. His 24-year-old sister told CNN they have not been given an explanation. "We want justice. We want to know what caused his death. They have never sent us a picture to show where he fell or give us any other information," said Ann Wanjiru. Kibue's family told CNN that he moved to Qatar in November to work under contract with a local security company. Kibue is the second migrant worker reported to have died since the start of the World Cup on November 20. A Filipino national died while doing renovations at a resort used as a training center for the Saudi Arabian team, The Athletic reported. While the main committee of the competition stressed that the death occurred in an area outside its jurisdiction, it said it offered its sincere condolences to Kibue's family, colleagues and friends. A Guardian newspaper report last year said 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since the country was awarded the World Cup in 2010. However, this has been denied by Qatari authorities, who say there have been three construction deaths directly related to the tournament, and another 37 deaths unrelated to work.
