"FIFA will be in a position to comment further once the relevant processes in relation to the worker's passing have been completed."Qatar World Cup CEO Nasser Al Khater.
"The SC is following up with the same relevant authorities to ensure we are updated with developments pertaining to the investigation on a regular basis and has established contact with the family of the deceased to ensure relevant information is conveyed," the SC added. Sparking further controversy, Qatar 2022 World Cup chief executive Nasser Al Khater, told a Reuters reporter that "death is a natural part of life" in response to a question about the latest migrant worker death, but he did not address the circumstances around this incident.
In an interview with Piers Morgan, which aired on TalkTV in November, Hassan Al-Thawadi, Secretary General of the SC, said that between 400 and 500 migrant workers have died as a result of work done on projects connected to the tournament -- a greater figure than Qatari officials have cited previously.
