OMG!! Just can't believe this, may his soul rest in peace.

Has the reason of his death been disclosed.

He was a good coach in a tough situation. Hopefully it was natural causes and not a suicide attempt as some are reporting.

Yea, just this:

"Bob Woolmer, the Pakistan coach, has died in a Kingston hospital after being found unconscious in his hotel room hours after his side's elimination from the World Cup. He was 58." From the cricinfo ball by ball.

I cant believe it. Just yesterday i was talking to someone about how Woolmer or Moody would become next England coach. Never in a million years did i ever expect to see this sad news just 24hours later :@

That's absolutely terrible. RIP.

Is there any foul play suspected?
A lot of the media in England are hinting at self harm but nothing is confirmed.

Like everyone else I hope it's natural causes.

RIP Bob Woolmer a sad end no matter what the circumstances.

I think there is something fishy in all this, but really it has all happened so quickly that i am still in shock.

Me too, I'm scared at what he might have done to himself that night..

Nicholas and Cullinan totally shaken up in this commentary stint.. This reminds me of walking downstairs to watch the Basin reserve test in 2002 without knowing what had happened.. Puts everything into perspective, again..

I think we can certainly count out suicide as a reason for his death since Bob was too strong a character to commit suicide.
