Three concurring pathology reports, done with the help of modern forensic science
expertise, have confirmed that Bob Woolmer died from natural causes and
the Jamaican police would announce it formally next week, a newspaper claimed
here today.
Exclusive tests on the broken hyoid bone in Woolmer's neck, based on which the
Jamaican pathologist Ere Seshaiah had concluded that the Pakistan
cricket coach was strangulated, has helped pathologists conclude that the Pakistan
cricket coach died from heart attack, according to 'The Times'.
"Mark Shields, the Deputy Police Commissioner, instructed that
the bone should be removed from the body for further examination. It was photographed
and X-rayed, helping pathologists to reach their conclusion," the British
daily reported.
The paper said that the three pathologists - of the British
Home Office, Ontario and South Africa - disagreed with the original report
that Woolmer died of "asphyxia due to strangulation".
"Lucius Thomas, the head of the Jamaican police
force, will announce next week that Woolmer was not poisoned. Toxicology reports
show that there was nothing in Woolmer's body that could have killed or incapacitated
him," 'The Times' said.
