John Njue Kibue died after falling from the eighth floor of the Lusail Stadium which is due to host the final between Argentina and France on Sunday (December 18).

Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy confirmed that the Kenyan security guard suffered the fall on Saturday (December 10) before being transferred to Hamad Medical Hospital’s intensive care unit after receiving emergency treatment at the scene.

It is reported that Kibue had sustained "severe head injury, facial fractures and pelvic fractures" as the 24-year-old died three days after the fall.

"We regret to announce that, despite the efforts of his medical team, he sadly passed away in hospital on Tuesday 13 December, after being in the intensive care unit for three days," the statement from Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy read.

"His next of kin have been informed.

"We send our sincere condolences to his family, colleagues and friends during this difficult time."

Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy confirmed earlier this week that Kibue had suffered a "serious fall" and investigations into the circumstances of the incident were being treated as a "matter of urgency".

"We will also ensure that his family receive all outstanding dues and monies owed," the statement added.

Following Kibue’s death, his sister Ann Wanjiru told CNN that her family were determined to get justice.

"We don’t have the money to get justice for him, but we want to know what happened,” said Wanjiru.

"We want justice.

"We want to know what caused his death.

"They have never sent us a picture to show where he fell from or given us any other information."

Kibue’s uncle Samuel Njau told Reuters: "For us as a family - definitely, we want some answers.

"And if possible, we want for [the Qatari Government] to facilitate the return of the body."

It is the second time that a migrant worker has reported to have died during the World Cup in Qatar.

A Filipino man, estimated to be in his early forties, died working at the five-star Sealine Beach resort in a forklift truck accident.

The resort was used as a training base by the Saudi Arabia squad at Qatar 2022.

Qatar's treatment of migrant workers has been a key issue in the build-up to and during the World Cup.

Last month, Supreme Committee secretary general Hassan Al-Thawadi has admitted that "between 400 [to] 500" migrant workers have died, but that he did not have "the exact number".

He claimed that the World Cup had been "an accelerator" for "improvements that had to happen".

The Guardian last year reported that 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since the country was controversially awarded the World Cup in 2010.

Human rights groups continue to criticise Qatar's treatment of migrant workers, and FIFA has been accused of displaying "callous indifference".
