Title: Bob Woolmer died of "natural causes"
Post by: IPAndrews on June 12, 2007, 11:36:30 am: So says the BBC. But we all know the truth about Bob Woolmer. He was poisoned! Then strangled! Then shot, stabbed, blown up, fired from a cannon, skewered by a stingray, forced off a road by paperazzi, and ejected from an airlock. What are your own particular Bob Woolmer conspiricy theories. Please discuss generally.

Somehow 'Pissed off Aussies throw Coach to Crocodile' would be a far more believable story ;)

On 18 March 2007, the day after Pakistan's unexpected defeat by Ireland in the 2007 Cricket World Cup, 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 had been launched due to the circumstances of Woolmer's death, specifically that he had died of asphyxia.

An inquest into the murder was scheduled for April 23 but had to be postponed owing to 'significant developments' into the case.

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 June 12 Lucius Thomas, the commissioner of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, announced that the investigation had concluded that Bob Woolmer died of natural causes, and was not murdered as indicated by the earlier pathologist's report. Three independent pathologists' reports commissioned by the police had found that the initial conclusion of manual strangulation was incorrect, and toxicology tests found no evidence of poisoning.[9] The findings of the pathologists, and of Scotland Yard detectives who had visited Jamaica to assist with the investgation, were reported in the weeks leading up to the announcement, which was widely expected by the time it was made. Reports suggested that Woolmer suffered from health problems including an enlarged heart and diabetes, which may have contributed to his death.[10][11][12]. Former Captain of Pakistan Cricket Team Imran Khan went all out against Jamaican Police Department for their poor handling of Bob Woolmer's case and suggested in very strong words that now is the time that Pakistan Cricket Board should take a swift legal action against Jamaican Police Department or some of its officials for gaining cheap publicity at the expense of Cricket itself and Pakistani players by hastily declaring Woolmer’s death as a murder. Not only their act brought the game of Cricket in great disrepute in Pakistan but also demoralized its players who were unnecessarily DNA tested, finger printed, and questioned for hours as prime suspects in this alleged murder.

There you go.

At random intervals, the ball should explode. That, and giant ants released on the field whenver somebody hits it into the bleachers.

Yes, I know that makes me sound like the suburban Londoner that I am, but there you go :)
