A migrant worker who was employed at the World Cup as a security guard died in a hospital Tuesday after falling from the eighth floor of one of the stadiums in Qatar over the weekend, officials and the man's family confirmed to CNN.
The 24-year-old Kenyan, John Njue Kibue, was on duty at Qatar's Lusail Stadium at the time of 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," a statement from the Qatari government's Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy said.

Kibue had been admitted to the ICU at Hamad General Hospital in Doha with a "severe head injury, facial fractures and pelvic fractures."
According to medical documents obtained by CNN, he has been unconscious since Saturday and was on a machine to help him breathe.
The committee announced earlier this week that Kibue had a serious fall and that they are "investigating the circumstances leading to the fall as a matter of urgency and will provide further information pending the outcome of the investigation."

But, according to CNN, members of Kibue's family said that his employer in Qatar, Al Sraiya Security Services, has not provided any information about how he might have fallen or any other circumstances surrounding his death.
"We don't have the money to get justice for him, but we want to know what happened," Kibue's sister, Ann Wanjiru, told CNN.
"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," she continued.
Kibue moved to Qatar last November under a contract with the security company, CNN reported.
Al Sraiya Security Services did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Kibue is the second migrant worker to die at the 2022 World Cup. According to CNN, another migrant worker was reported dead in an accident at a resort used by Saudi Arabia during the earlier stages of the tournament.
