Jamaica Police to admit Woolmer was not murdered

The Jamaican Police is all set to officially announce that Pakistan cricket team coach Bob Woolmer was not murdered but died from a heart attack in the West Indies during the World Cup in March this year.

London, June 8 : The Jamaican Police is all set to officially announce that Pakistan cricket team coach Bob Woolmer was not murdered but died from a heart attack in the West Indies during the World Cup in March this year.

According to The Times, Lucius Thomas, the head of the Jamaican Police, will make this announcement next week on the basis of medical reports submitted by three internationally renowned pathologists.

The news report said Thomas would also say that Woolmer was not poisoned, as toxicology reports show that there was nothing in the 58-year-old coach's body that could have killed or incapacitated him.

The pathologists ruled out the possibility of murder after filming the postmortem examination with high-quality digital colour video. Colour digital photographs were also taken before, during and after the examination, as were multiple tissue and body fluid samples.

Earlier, Ere Seshaiah, a Jamaican government pathologist, had contended that the hyoid bone in Woolmer's neck was broken- a classic sign of strangulation, says the report.

Following this, former Scotland Yard detective Mark Shields announced to the world that Woolmer had been strangled in his hotel room.

But a review of earlier autopsy by a senior Home Office pathologist in London concluded that it was wrong to suggest that Woolmer was strangled.

Tests showed the coach was not poisoned either. He was likely to have been under stress after Pakistan crashed out of the World Cup.
