Indian born pathologist Dr Ere Seshaiah, whose autopsy report guided the Jamaican
police to look at the murder angle after the mysterious death of Bob Woolmer,
stuck to his finding that the Pakistan cricket coach was murdered.
A day after the Jamaican police concluded that Woolmer's death was natural and
that it was closing the case, Seshaiah said "I am sticking to my findings.
He was murdered." "I am confident he was murdered. Woolmer is not a
first for me, I have been doing autopsies here since 1995," Seshaiah was
quoted as saying by the Jamaica Observer.
Declaring Woolmer's death as natural, after pursuing it as
murder for almost three months, Jamaican Constabulary Force (JCF) commissioner
Lucius Thomas yesterday said three foreign pathologists and toxicology tests
had ruled out any foul play in the death of the Pakistani coach on March 18.
"The JCF accepts these findings and has now closed its
investigation into the death of Bob Woolmer," Thomas told a news conference.
Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner Mark Shields, who led
the investigation into Woolmer's death refused to step down in the wake of the
wrong judgement by the police in treating Woolmer's death as murder.
"I love my job and I love working in this country. I am
looking forward to the next two years of my contract. We are not pathologists
and if we had not sought other opinions we would have also been criticised,"
Shields said.
Woolmer was found dead in his room of Pegasus Hotel in Kingston
on March 18, a day after his team made a premature exit from the World Cup tournament
following Pakistan's unexpected loss to Ireland.
