New Delhi: A fresh angle surfaced into the mysterious death of Pakistan cricket team coach Bob Woolmer on Monday as a section of the Pakistani media said that the former England player could have committed suicide.
Rumour mill suggests that Woolmer might have committed suicide, reported Pak news daily Jang’s correspondents in Kingston adding a twist to the causes of Woolmer's shocking death. However, they had no proof to substantiate the claims.
A Pakistan team official said on condition of anonymity that it was premature to make such speculation since the Jamaican Constabulary Force and a team of medical experts were still conducting preliminary investigations at both the hotel and the hospital.
"Bob was a larger than life person and was deeply disappointed by the team's performance. He was a diabetic and also had other medical conditions. All that would be taken into account in the autopsy," the official was quoted by PTI.
He said there was a pall of gloom in the Pakistan camp after Woolmer's death. "Don't forget he was like a family member to many of the players for the last three years.
When someone so close to you dies, it is terrible. Even after the loss to Ireland, Bob had been talking positively with the players and lifting their spirits," he added.
On Inzamam's retirement, the official said that the skipper might have buckled under the pressure of the present circumstances to take such a step.

Chances of suicide looks less but there seems to be some other angles also.
