I really hope that the was nothing sinister in all this

Still can't believe this, it's all happened so fast. I refuse to entertain speculation that it was anything sinister or self inflicted, so until there is any serious evidence to the contrary I'm going to assume it was natural causes.

The best way TBH, though its hard to ignore the immediate circumstances

People say things like that, without actually realising what they mean, I feel for them.

I totally agree

It isnt easy to source poison the day you decide to kill yourself when you are away from home and in a hotel and have a tiny window of opportunity like this.

Gramoxone, toilet cleaner, etc. etc.

I really don't like this path of conversation though.

Threads will be merged in due time. No harm done for the moment.

The sudden death is a bit intriguing, but it really is not of our business how he died, even though it sort of is and we'll probably find out anyway. It would have been at least nice for him to know if Pakistan went out of the World Cup on a winning note, but it was not to be. If they lost, it wouldn't have been any better than now.

Too shocking
RIP

I'm devestated!

Bob still had a lot of good things waiting for him, possibly even a position coaching the English. He still had so much to offer world cricket, not to mention the amazing sucsess he had with the South Africans.

Let's hope he went peacefully.

Rest In Peace Mister Woolmer, cricket fans miss and love you.

Woolmer was a Big Man and with that and the drugs tests, poor Performances, Shoaib and the Disastarous England tour this could have took its toll

I dont think he killed himself

 

[Evermind]

WTF is "poison"? It's such a high-school term to use - that could have been anything.

It is no use speculating, but whatever happens, I hope for once that the PCB and whoever is in charge of the whole matter come clean on this and don't try to cover things up.

No sporting event in the world is worth someone's life.

RIP Bob
