Jamaican police late last night revealed there have been new developments in their investigations of the death of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer which have led them to consider the case "suspicious". In a hastily called meeting with journalists at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Mark Shields said there was new evidence which pushed investigators to amend an earlier assessment of the post-mortem results as inconclusive. New information "Having met with the pathologist, other medical personnel and investigators, there is now sufficient information to continue a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Woolmer, which we are now treating as suspicious," DCP Shields said. Although tightlipped, he added: "We have already informed the Woolmer family of this development, and we are also in close contact with the Pakistan team management, Cricket World Cup and the ICC to ensure that all parties are kept informed of the ongoing investigation." Earlier in the day, journalists had been informed during a press conference at the Jamaica Pegasus that pathologist Ere Sheshiah was awaiting results from toxicology (study of poisons and their effects) and histology (study of tissues) tests to determine the cause of death. At the time officials could not say when the results would become available, but noted they were expectedsoon as the process had been fast-tracked. Mr. Woolmer, 58, was found unconscious in his room at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel, Sunday morning, less than 24 hours after his team lost all hope of advancing in the Cricket World Cup after a shock defeat to Ireland at Sabina Park. He died at 12:14 p.m., approximately 30 minutes after he was taken to the University Hospital of the West Indies. Pervez Mir, media manager for the Pakistan team, said the post-mortem, which took place at the Kingston Public Hospital, began at 9:35 a.m. and ended shortly after 12 noon. Findings "The pathologist's findings were inconclusive and he is awaiting results of toxicology and histology from the Government nationallaboratory and the Government forensic laboratory," Mr. Mir had told a packed room of journalists at the earlier press conference. Mr. Mir said Mr. Woolmer's body had been sent to a local funeral parlour and arrangements were being made for its shipment to Cape Town, South Africa, viaLondon. "(The) Pakistan team here thank the Prime Minister of Jamaica ... Portia Simpson Miller, Commis-sioner of (the) Jamaica Constabu-lary Police Force and) the ICC for all the assistance that has been provided to the Pakistan team during this difficult hour," Mr. Mir said. He indicated that a remembrance ceremony would be held at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel by the management and members of the Pakistan cricket team this evening after the game between Pakistan and Zimbabwe at Sabina Park. Meanwhile, reports have been circulating across the world that members of the Pakistan team have been interrogated by the local police. However, Karl Angell, director of communications for the Jamaica Constabulary Force, dismissed these claims. DCP Shields said persons were questioned in relation to Mr. Woolmer's death but stated that this was normal procedure. The Pakistan team is expected to leave Jamaica Saturday evening, but the media and team managers could stay if the need arises. Reprinted from jamaica-gleaner.com
