Cricket: Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer has died after being found unconscious in his hotel room in the West Indies. His side had last night crashed out of the World Cup after suffering a shock defeat to Ireland.
The 58-year-old was discovered in his room at the Pegasus Hotel in Sabina Park this morning, and was immediately taken to the emergency department of a nearby hospital - but he did not recover.
The team's media manager Pervez Mir said Woolmer suffered from a medical condition but added it was too early to say whether it played a part in his death.
A team spokesman said: "We saw him last night but having not seen him early today two of our officers went to his room and with the help of hotel staff entered. He was found unconscious there.
"It is too early to say whether he has suffered a heart attack. We are awaiting medical reports."
A statement is expected to be released by the Pakistan Cricket Board, and Woolmer's South Africa-based wife has been notified.
Woolmer, a former England Test batsman and former South Africa and Warwickshire coach, was contracted to the Pakistan Cricket Board until the end of the tournament.
Pakistan's involvement in the competition ended with a shock three-wicket defeat at the hands of Ireland yesterday.
