Natural Causes, Says British Media

After failing to prove beyond doubt that Bob Woolmer had been murdered, the Jamaican Police now believe that the autopsy report by an Indian
pathologist misled them and the
cricket coach probably died of natural causes, according to the British media.
''The Sunday Times'' claimed that the role of Kingston pathologist Ere Sheshaiah is now being questioned after a review of his post-mortem report suggested that he was wrong to suggest that Woolmer had died of manual strangulation.
The daily quoted an unidentified senior Jamaican Police officer admitting that Woolmer probably died from heart attack.
"I would go for natural causes," he said.
Jamaican Police are awaiting the result of a toxicology test to find out if Woolmer was poisoned with a herbicide.
Sheshaiah, an Indian who moved to Jamaica about 12 years ago, based his report on two major findings-Woolmer''s fractured bone in the neck and three bruises inside neck and a large one at the base of the tongue.
Dr Nat Carey, a noted British pathologist, however, was not convinced. He dismissed the
strangulation theory, saying such hyoid fractures could be caused by a fall, resuscitation or poor autopsy technique.
"It is an important thing that just as one swallow doesn`t make a summer, so a fractured hyoid doesn''t make strangulation. That is the very heart of the case," Carey said.
Jamaican police have now approached the FBI to find a third pathologist to shed light on the issue.
