How did Bob Woolmer die ?

Answer 1

Though it is more than 2 months now since Bob Woolmer was dead and investigation started by the Jamaican Police, it has not yet been conclusively established as to how he died, whether his deatch was natural or a murder althogh lot of speculation is going around.

It was earlier suspected that he was strangulated. Subsequently it was speculated that he was poisoned before death. Now there is a speculation that his death was natural and that he died because of heart attack. However, officially nothing has been recorded as yet.

The series of event about death of Bob Woolmer and subsequent developments are explained below:

On 18 March 2007, following Pakistan's unexpected defeat by Ireland in the 2007 Cricket World Cup a day earlier, Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer was found dead in his hotel room at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica. On 22 March, Jamaican police confirmed that a murder investigation has been launched due to the circumstances of Woolmer's death, specifically that he had died of asphyxia. The investigations into the murder of Bob Woolmer, the late Pakistan coach, are reported to have reached a significant breakthrough with a likely suspect being identified through footage from the hotel security camera. According to a report in the UK-based The Independent, detectives from Scotland Yard and a team of 30 officers studied the digitally-enhanced footage and the suspect was understood to be a male, though police were unable to confirm his identity. The cleaned-up images from London show at least one individual of considerable interest to the inquiry, a source close to the investigation told the paper. "The time of the footage and its location mean that this individual must be considered a suspect. Further work is being done on statements given by individuals to look at any inconsistencies. It is good progress."

Woolmer was found dead in his hotel room in Jamaica on March 18, a day after Pakistan's loss to Ireland, and though the cause of death was determined, the authorities had struggled to develop lasting leads in the murder case. On 30 April 2007 it was confirmed that Woolmer had been poisoned before he was strangled, as a toxicology report stated that samples taken from his blood, stomach and urine had shown the presence of a foreign substance.

An inquest into the murder was scheduled for April 23 but had to be postponed owing to 'significant developments' into the case. Twenty witnesses were due to provide evidence but a statement from the Jamaican justice ministry on Thursday said the hearing would be postponed following advice from the coroner.

On April 30, the BBC television programme Panorama revealed that their investigations indicated that Woolmer had been poisoned by a drug that left him helpless to fight off a combination of strangulation and smothering by assailants.

On May 13, 2007, the Jamaica Gleaner web site reported that a Scotland Yard pathology report concluded that Wolmer died of natural causes rather than strangulation. Although the article states that he died of heart failure, it is only one of a number of possibilities currently being investigated.

Answer 2

It is not true to say that Bob Woolmer died because he was murdered. There was stress out of the loss to a lowly rated team. Australia and India lost to Bangladesh. West Indies lost to Kenya. Pakistan lost to Ireland. But then, this loss caused anguish to a coach who was tensed and stressed and as he was suffering from diabetes and tension, he died suddenly of a cardiac arrest. Nothing more should be read into his death. Scotland Yard did a professional job.

Answer 3

The revelation has fuelled mounting speculation that the Pakistan cricket coach's death was not murder but a tragic accident.

A witness described how the 58-year-old sat alone in the bar of the Hotel Pegasus in Kingston after Pakistan crashed out of the ICC Cricket World Cup and 'drowned his sorrows' with a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label.

The claim adds considerable weight to suggestions by forensic experts that a tiny bone in Mr Woolmer's neck could have been broken as a result of a fall rather than by strangulation.

'Mark Shields - the policeman charged with solving the mystery of Bob Woolmer's tragic death.

If accidental death is proved, the already tarnished investigation led by former Scotland Yard detective Mark Shields - who publicly declared he was '100 per cent certain' Mr Woolmer was strangled - will be exposed to worldwide ridicule.

As four Scotland Yard detectives prepared on Saturday night to fly out to Jamaica to assist in the inquiry, a witness told The Mail on Sunday that Mr Woolmer sat alone on the team bus after the match, looking 'extremely vexed'. At the hotel, he is said to have begun drinking almost immediately - forsaking his normal solitary glass of wine for the export-strength whisky.

Mr Woolmer's mood darkened further when most of the Pakistan touring party went off for dinner without him to the home of multi-millionaire car dealer Tariq Malik.

Mr Malik said: "Bob was supposed to come around with everyone for a banquet on Sunday - but that was obviously cancelled after his death.

"There was an open invitation for him the previous evening but the players told me he stayed back at the hotel drinking Scotch. They said he had drunk up to a bottle and was really drowning his sorrows."

Mr Malik, who moved to Kingston from Pakistan via Kenya 20 years ago, entertained the team at his palatial home for much of the previous week. He said he also met Mr Woolmer twice at the Pegasus.

"The only security I saw at the Pegasus was after Bob's death,' said Mr Malik. "Prior to that you could get into the lift and go up to the rooms unchallenged."

Although he was contacted by Jamaican police five days ago, Mr Malik has yet to be visited by an officer to record what could turn out to be vital evidence.

Police refused to comment on what Mr Woolmer may have drunk before his death until they have studied the results of toxicology and histology tests.

Deputy police chief Mr Shields stunned everyone eight days ago when he announced Mr Woolmer had died from asphyxiation after being throttled in his hotel room on March 17. He spoke of clues, which he refuses to reveal publicly, that convinced him the Pakistan World Cup coach was murdered.

But concerns about the post-mortem were expressed last week by Dr Garfield Blake, past president of the Jamaican Association of Clinical Pathologists.

Pakistani cricket authorities have also questioned the report because there were no visible signs of strangulation and because pathologist Ere Sheshaiah's initial examination was 'inconclusive'.

Even Mr Shields appeared to waver. He told the media on Thursday: "I will keep an open mind because you never know."

Mr Woolmer's son, Dale, said yesterday: "Mr Shields keeps my mother informed of every development in the investigation, however small. But he has told us nothing about speculation that my father was not murdered. We have not heard of speculation from other sources either."

There were also reports from Kingston that a blood-soaked pillow that was found in Mr Woolmer's hotel room had been sent for forensic examination.
