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.

I propose my favorite cause of death:  fish-tailed by an eighteen-wheeler...

...UNDERWATER!

[karajorma]

I've been waiting for months to use that!

EDIT: Ah, the cricket coach guy.

[Black Wolf]

The coach of the second most cricket mad country in the world dies just days after his team loses to utter minnows? No way that's a coincidence.

[Flipside]

Somehow, if there's one country in the world I would not suspect of pulling something underhand like that, it's Australia.

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

Why do you think we keep winning?

I always seem to be asking these questions... So what the **** is Bob Woolmer, and should there be a reason for me to even care?

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.

Holy hiding wombat! I posted in a topic related to sports!

[karajorma]

Well it's the murder, corruption and possible conspiracy that keep people interested.

[IPAndrews]

It's almost as interesting as the whole Litvinenko thing, except that it isn't quite.

[Wobble73]

Well it made cricket a little more interesting for a while, but now it's meh again!

Cricket needs more deaths. I suggest balls covered in razor blades.

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

[karajorma]

And then once we're done with the warm up we can move to the main course, making baseball interesting.
