Yes what a tragedy! For those who didn't know I got some info from NDTV. It said:
Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer died under mysterious circumstances in Jamaica on Sunday.
Woolmer was last seen in public when he addressed the post-match press conference after Pakistan’s shock defeat to Ireland on Saturday.
Officials had apparently been worried after they didn’t see Woolmer early on Sunday. When they went to his room, they found him unconscious and lying on the floor of his room with vomit around him.
Thereafter, the 58-year-old former English player was rushed to the Kingston University Hospital, where he was in emergency care before he passed away.
Woolmer had a history of health problems and was suffering from diabetes.
According to reports, he was bleeding from the nose when he was found and there is a possibility that he could have suffered a hemorrhage.
Pakistan team media manager Pervez Mir confirmed the news. "I have to say with great sadness that Woolmer has died. The doctors in the ICU have pronounced him dead," Mir said.
In his last public appearance before his death, Woolmer had apologised(sic) to the fans for the World Cup debacle, making no excuses for Pakistan's loss to Ireland, which knocked them out of the World Cup.
Tributes pour in

It has been reported that on 18 March 2007 at approximately 17:15 UTC, Bob Woolmer had been taken to hospital after he was found unconscious in his hotel room . He was taken to the nearby University Hospital in Kingston but it was later confirmed that Bob Woolmer had died. Pervez Mir, the Pakistan team manager revealed that Woolmer had suffered from an un-named medical condition but said that the cause of death was as yet unknown.
My be he could not sustain the shock and pressure of unexpected defeat at the hands of such a low ranked team like Ireland..

It's so sad, I agree. especially since I was celebrating the Irish victory.
It sounds awfully suspicious to me too.
