Quote from an article on Rediff: Before this Pak losing was a laughing matter, but now I can't look at the situation the same way. It's a sad death to die in shock. R.I.P. Mr. Woolmer.

I know. I feel guilty that I was laughing about Pak losing. Oh well, I still can't believe he died of shock.

after a shock Group D defeat by Ireland at Sabina Park. That means their loss to Irland was a shock. It is believed to have been a heart attack.

Well, I admit that even I was shocked Ireland had won. I bet Pak players and coaches were more shocked than me. And he was old so he probably did have a heart attack. Wikipedia says 'cause of death' is not available yet. Yeah? Then was his death on the same day Pak lost a co-incidence?
When I made the thread today, the news wasn't even out in google. It was only out on rediffindia.com =/

Yeah, I wasn't having a go at you by the way, I just didn't want you to keep thinking he died of shock, however had Pakistan won that match yesterday, I don't think there is any doubt Bob Woolmer would still be alive now. The Pakistan players fear for their safety if they return home. Wonder if Pakistan's match against Zimbabwe in a few days will take place? Zimbabwe need a win to have a chance of going through to the next stage. This next bit is eery but after the loss yesterday, Bob at the press conference said this... "I'm going to sleep on this one as I've had a very bad day, which ranks along with my worst days as a coach." I know these are professional sports people and for most of them, their livelihood but in context, this is just a friggen sport and geez, I'm shaky as I type this and got horrible tingles all over.
