I really, really hope this is just mischief making and its not true. It would be as horrific as the Columbian fotballer who got shot after scoring an OG in 1994 WC. Please God say its not true..

I'm more inclined to believe he was murdered given the police have ordered a full-scale investigation. But we'll just have to wait and see really.

This is seriously surreal. Find it very difficult to believe.
Not too sure about the thread title though; it's a bit definite at this stage for me. Maybe a mod could add a question mark or put quotation marks around "murder"?

Wow - this is all so very very sad. As if the Woolmer family wasn't suffering enough, this is probably the one thing that could make it that much worse...

Ditto, TBH.
And I'm not prepared to say anything else at this stage. To borrow a phrase off Gelman: conspiracy-theorists **** me.

Quite a bit of bad "info" floating around atm. AFAIK, his death is deemed to have occured under suspicious circumstances. That's all anyone knows who's not involved in the investigation, also that they're going to be doing tests for chemicals and whatnot. Can't really remember too clearly. I lost a semifinal match today under what I found out later could be dubious circumstances. Will need to check up on that but anyway what I said before my rant is the official position and anything else is speculation.

Just heard on the radio that they're not persuing the murder investigation.
Hopefully it was just natural causes, a tragic event, but nothing sinister at all.
