After umpteen theories relating to Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer’s death, a Jamaican paper has come out with a report that he was not murdered and that he died of heart failure, while a British paper gave yet another angle.
The Sunday Gleaner said that according to a pathology report submitted by the Scotland Yard team, Woolmer died of natural causes and not manual strangulation as was reported by Jamaican Police Deputy Commissioner Mark Shields.
The natural death theory comes on top of various other possibilities that have been speculated ever since the Pakistan coach was found dead in his room on March 18, after the shock defeat of his team at the hands of minnows Ireland. Apart from strangulation, the possibility of Woolmer having consumed a drink laced with weedkiller or aconite has also been speculated all along.
Jamaica Gleaner quoted its sources as saying that “the Scotland Yard report specifically said Woolmer died of heart failure, contradicting earlier reports by the investigative arm of the Jamaica Constabulary Force and local pathologist Dr Ere Seshiah.”
Earlier, two Pakistani detectives had also informed their Interior Ministry that the Jamaican police were yet to find conclusive evidence that Woolmer had been strangled.

E-mail doubts
The Sunday Telegraph said the Jamaican Police is "very interested" in Woolmer’s last e-mail – said to be his resignation sent to Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Naseem Ashraf. Woolmer’s friends suspect that the "last" e-mail could have been sent by his murderers because the language was not similar to what Woolmer used.
