'Woolmer murdered by gamblers'

Kingston - A former Pakistan cricketer has speculated that his country's coach, Bob Woolmer, who died in his hotel room on Sunday, could have been killed by gambling interests.
Former Pakistan fast-bowler Sarfraz Nawaz said he suspected Woolmer had been murdered.

Nawaz said: "Woolmer's death has some connection with the match-fixing mafia.

"I've been saying for days that Woolmer's death is not natural- it's murder."

Jamaica police, however, said there had been no evidence that it had been murder.

Woolmer, who was 58 and lived in South Africa, was found unconscious in his Kingston hotel room on Sunday morning and was pronounced dead after being transferred to a hospital.

The previous day, Pakistan had been stunned by Ireland in a St Patrick's Day victory that assured Pakistan's early departure from the World Cup, which is being played in the Caribbean.

A 10-man forensics team was working in the 12th-floor room where Woolmer died.


'He was perfectly fit'


Woolmer's wife, Gill, was interviewed on Indian television and discounted conspiracy theories.

She confirmed her husband had Type 2 diabetes, but said he had not been on prescribed medication for it, but had been on prescribed anti-inflammation drugs.

She said that following the loss to Ireland, "he e-mailed me the following morning.

"He mentioned that he was really depressed and could not believe how this could have happened.

"The Pakistani team's poor performance affected him, as any other big tournament that he lost as a coach.

"He believed that what happened, happened. One has to move on."

She told the Cape Argus newspaper that he was healthy and regularly exercised.

"There was nothing wrong with him - he was perfectly fit," said Gill.

Deputy police commissioner Mark Shields said in Kingston earlier: "There's no evidence it's a homicide, but we're waiting for further information from the pathologist before make any more statements.

"We have sufficient information to continue a full investigation into Woolmer's death, which we are now treating as suspicious."

There is nothing to suspect about the death of Bob Woolmer. Report about his death is as follows:

On 18 March 2007 Bob Woolmer was found unconscious in his hotel room in Kingston, Jamaica. He was taken to the nearby University Hospital but it was later confirmed that he had died. A post mortem will be carried out as required by Jamaican law. Pervez Mir, the Pakistan team media manager said that Woolmer had suffered from an un-named medical condition although Naseem Ashraf, the Chairman of the PCB, later said that Woolmer had complained of breathing difficulties before the team left for the World Cup, and also revealed that he had been a diabetic. His son was subsequently reported as saying that Woolmer may have died as a result of stress brought on by his job or from a heart attack.

He jus cant die due to stress. some where some how, some one is involved in his death. we will find it when we will get his postmortem report. and if pakistani officials need it..... even that will be hidden from rest of the world.

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/kGslS

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Have you seen pictures of Bob W? Very overweight, under a lot of pressure and his team had just been whomped badly in an international forum, losing a game they were not supposed to lose.

The obvious diagnosis is heart attack, second choice stroke. Too many factors tie together to make the death in the least suspicious.

there's definitely something going on. How else would there be diarrhoea, blood and vomit everywhere. That doesn't sound like a heart attack to me. The only question is will it all be covered up? At least they are classing it as suspicious.

this is this way of bizzare and tragic twist of activities on the worldwide Cup. i'm specific there have been various motives at the back of his dying - he became affected by well-being issues i think. i'm specific, even although, that the stress of the full journey, the loss to eire in specific, performed a extremely considerable place in reducing his existence so tragically short.

Its no use making bizarre stories. Lets wait till the autopsy report comes. Could be a stress related cause coupled with over medication
