Former cricket coach Bob Woolmer's inquest begins
Former Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer's inquest starts in Jamaica on Tuesday, following his death in Jamaica in March at the time of the Cricket World Cup.
Bob Woolmer was 58 when he died and his death was originally treated as murder but subsequently changed to natural causes.
Bob Woolmer's inquest is said to be likely to call more than 50 witnesses, and to last for more than two months.
Bob Woolmer's dead body had been found in his hotel room in Jamaica on 18 March after Pakistan had been defeated in the first round of the event by Ireland.
It is rumoured that Jamaican police have still not ruled out that Bob Woolmer was deliberately killed and that the inquest will look inro whether anyone was actually responsible for his death.
Earlier in the year following Bob Woolmer's death, Mark Shields - Jamaica's deputy police commissioner - had announced at a press conference that the police were treating the death as murder, but then in June, Jamaican Police Commissioner Lucius Thomas stated that expert opinions concluded that the original pathologist report of death by strangling was wrong.
