What are you on about?
There are NO DOUBTS on Woolmer's death.
He died due to natural causes. END of story.
Seriously, you make lots of obscure comments in my opinion sid.
Well, Woolmers death was said to be of unnatural causes, police were sent out to investigate it, found nothing conclusive, and it was swept under the carpet.
Hard to imagine it being normal, especially with the fact that he was alone after Pakistan lost to Ireland. You never know what an angry fan or bookie might have done.

Everyone was suspicous at first, yes, but if using the CCTV cameras, found that nobody entered Woolmer's room, he was on the 9th floor (ok, so you think people went onto the top of the roof and climbed down and then busted his window and killed him)
First of all, somebody would have seen the broken window. Secondly, I don't think he even had a room with a window.
If Scotland Yard was able to investigate, and find no signs of forced entry, no fingerprints other than Woolmer's in the room, and no murder weapon, and were able to test his blood and found no drugs or overdoses, and concluded his death was due to natural causes (heart attack), then I really don't see what the problem is.
If this was March 20th, 2007, yes I can see the possibility. But with the world's top police and detectives there, I honestly see where theres little doubt.
Bob Woolmer died doing what he loved, and he put his HEART into the Pakistan team, and actually cared about it. Its hard to see some foreign coaches doing that. Bob Woolmer was a great man for Pakistan cricket, and the game of cricket in general.
