I don’t know if you’ve been following the World Cup coverage and the tragic death of 48-year-old sports journalist Grant Wahl, but in an uncanny coincidence, he died from a ruptured aortic aneurism, precisely the condition that Lerner’s protagonist worries over in 10:04.
He was a superb reporter and all-around good guy, who was harassed by officials this month for his refusal to remove a rainbow-themed tee in support of the rights of LGBTQ+ folk who suffer under Qatar’s draconian policies. Rest in peace.
