Qatar World Cup chief executive Nasser Al Khater has been criticised for dismissing the death of a migrant worker during the tournament as 'a natural part of life'.
A Filipino man fell to his death while doing repairs at a resort used as a training base by the Saudi Arabia team. Asked about the latest casualty of this World Cup yesterday, Al Khater said: 'We have a successful World Cup, and this is something you want to talk about right now?
'Death is a natural part of life, whether it's at work, whether it's in your sleep. Of course, a worker died. Our condolences go to his family.'
FIFA say they are 'deeply saddened' by the worker's death. Al Khater, however, criticised journalists for continuing to 'bang on' about the number of migrant worker deaths in Qatar.
