Jamaican police have said in a report that then Pakistan Coach Bob Woolmer’s death was due to natural causes. Earlier the same department said it to be a case of murder.
Mr. Woolmer was 58 when he died during the last World Cup. He was found unconscious in his hotel room allotted to him in Kingston, where the Pakistan team arrived for their match. The incident took place after the defeat of Pakistan against Ireland.
Because of the list of events it was suspected to be a case of murder. The pathologist report also said Woolmer was strangled. Pakistani player were also inquired about the death.
Now Jamaican police says that no poison was found in the tests carried out. The Police commissioner says the previous pathological report was wrong.
‘My sons and I are relieved to be officially informed that Bob died of natural causes and that no foul play is suspected in his death’ says Gill Woolmer, widow of Bob Woolmer.
“The police have now closed the investigation into the death of Bob Woolmer,” Jamaican Police Commissioner Lucius Thomas said.
The matter was intensified by the activities of police and the close circuit camera footages. The death was speculated to be a murder by different quarters because of the defeat in the Pakistan Ireland match as well as the internal problems between the coach and the players. Involvement of Pakistani players was suspected in the death.
Former Pakistan Captain Imran Khan is not happy with the Jamaican Police. He demanded an apology for the humiliation caused by the controversy to Pakistan.
