Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer suffered a broken bone in his throat after falling against the toilet bowl whilst vomiting in his hotel room, according to Sky Sports News.

The 58-year-old was discovered unconscious in his hotel room the day after Pakistan had suffered a shock World Cup exit at the hands of debutants Ireland.

Initial post mortem tests proved inconclusive and now Jamaican police are awaiting the results of a second post mortem.

Sky Sports News reports that Woolmer suffered from a broken bone in his throat, an injury he sustained during a fall against the toilet bowl whilst vomiting.

The news comes as Jamaican police questioned and took finger prints from the entire Pakistan World Cup squad, as their investigations continue.

"We're going through a process of speaking to people, including members of the team," said Mark Shields, the deputy chief commissioner of the Jamaican police force.

Pakistan team manager Talat Ali is furious that the squad are being seen as possible suspects due to the process.

"The impression is being given that the Pakistan team are suspects. This is not true," said Ali.

"We are being interviewed first because we are leaving for Montego Bay later this afternoon, but other people will also be interviewed by police."
 
Police are still treating the death as suspicious. But at the risk of stating the obvious, suspicious does not necessarily equal murder. It just means that there are unanswered questions.

The tears were probably shed out of fear of returning home to a lynching party. Besides, I wasn't referring to the players who would no doubt have formed a connection with their coach. I'm talking about the rabid, hateful mongrels in Pakistan we saw burning and cursing, demanding their players and Bob be put to death for their pathetic defeat to Ireland.
Such vicious and volatile supporters are hardly incapable of murder.

Do the likes of Wayne Rooney or Roy Keane have a proclivity to commit murder because they're prone to losing their rag on the pitch?
 
It is all getting a bit silly. So far all we know is that he is dead. Prescription drugs and alcohol may be involved in that death, BW had unexplained marks on his neck (not strangulation marks as far as we know) and that the autopsy was inconclusive.

Obviously of there are criminal factors involved the Police may keep details to themselves but in the mean time all claims of suicide, drug overdose and betting syndicates or mad bearded blokes killing him should be treated as hysterical rumour mongering.

Discuss it by all means but some of you seem to be taking ever new report as gospel.

Woolmer death treated as murder
Pakistan cricket team - 21/3/2007
Woolmer's death has cast a shadow over the World Cup
Police in Jamaica have launched a murder investigation into the death of Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer.

Following the results of a post mortem examination, police said Mr Woolmer had died of asphyxia as a result of manual strangulation.

The chief police commissioner appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

Woolmer, 58, was found in his hotel room on Sunday, the day after his team lost to Ireland in the World Cup.
 
They're going to fingerprint all the Pakistani players. Surely it can't be someone from the squad?!?
