'Death is part of life' - Qatar CEO after worker’s death

STORY: The Athletic reported on Wednesday that the accident occurred at the Sealine Resort when a Filipino man working for a company contract to fix lights in a car park slipped alongside a fork lift. The man "slipped off a ramp while walking alongside the vehicle and fell headfirst against concrete," the publication said, citing multiple sources who remained unnamed to protect their jobs and safety.

The Athletic reported that the accident took place during the World Cup, but did not specify exactly when.

The Sealine Resort, south of Doha, was the official training site of the Saudi national team, which was eliminated from the tournament last week. The resort did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment about the incident.
