Woolmer died of natural causes - Jamaican police

CRICKET: Former Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer was not murdered but died of natural causes, Jamaican police said Tuesday, in a bizarre twist to his sudden death which rocked the cricketing world.

Woolmer, 58, was found dead in his hotel room in Jamaica on March 18, the day after Ireland surprisingly defeated Pakistan and sent them crashing out of the World Cup tournament.

Days after his death police announced they were treating the case as a homicide, saying an autopsy report showed he had been strangled, sparking feverish speculation about the role of gambling mafias in the game.
