The Jamaica Constabulary Force's (JCF) Director of Communication, Karl Angell, says the JCF is yet to receive a report from Scotland Yard based on the findings of United Kingdom pathologist, Dr. Nat Carey, who flew to Jamaica to investigate Bob Woolmer's death.

According to London's Daily Mail newspaper, the police in Jamaica could soon announce that the Pakistan cricket coach died of natural causes.

But Mr. Angell says there is no scheduled press conference to announce that Mr. Woolmer died of natural causes, nor has a report been received from Scotland Yard on the pathologist's findings.

Last month, The Sunday Gleaner reported that a Scotland Yard-based pathologist had identified heart failure as the cause of Woolmer's death.

Found unconscious

Mr. Woolmer, 58, was found unconscious in his room at the Pegasus hotel in Kingston on March 18 and was later pronounced dead at the University Hospital of the West Indies, just hours after his Pakistan team lost to Ireland in the opening round of the Cricket World Cup.

Pathology reports by Jamaica's pathologist, Dr. Ere Sheshiah, stated that Mr. Woolmer died of asphyxiation due to manual strangulation. Subsequent toxicology results showed that a foreign substance, believed to be poison, was also found in samples taken from the coach's stomach, urine and blood, The Gleaner reported. The complete results, which are being analysed with the help of Scotland Yard, are yet to be released by the JCF, Angell says.

Mr. Woolmer's body was expatriated to his home country, South Africa, where he was cremated during a private family ceremony in Cape Town last month.
