Yeah just seen it confirmed on Supersport.. Tragic stuff, in my eyes he was the greatest coach of all time, not that it matters when we've just lost a guy who was so passionate about the game.. The brains behind my favourite cricket team, he deserved better than this..
Condolences to his family, RIP

The current "rumour" - I'm not sure if it's been reported by a reputable agency or not, is that he had consumed poison.. I guess the only thing we can do is wait for answers as they come..
I hope we wear black armbands for our clash with Aus
Woolmer was the best coach we'll ever have..

Im not saying it cant be true (as we have had test cricketers burn down buildings recently) but it would be amazing and suprising if suicide was the outcome. Id go so far to say that even if suicide was the conclusion then I would have serious doubts.The current "rumour" - I'm not sure if it's been reported by a reputable agency or not, is that he had consumed poison..

Who packs poison in their bags for a WC trip?

Who says you need to pack it beforehand? Even if it was a heart attack, I think we can put two and two together and say that the timing of this was too much of a coincidence to be considered totally random..Im not saying it cant be true (as we have had test cricketers burn down buildings recently) but it would be amazing and suprising if suicide was the outcome.

I am really shocked and very saddened by this news, people have to remember that Cricket is only a game people should not really get stressed about it,
Woolmer was a great coach who led Warwickshire to 6 trophies in 3 years, and that brilliant side in 1994 which won 3 trophies of which Worcester stopped them from winning the grand slam. South Africa were a good side again under him, but Pakistan is a terrible job to have and sadly this killed him. Pakistan cricket board should take a long look at themselves.

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.
Very suspicious.
