There is no mention of suicide in that article, or on cricinfo. Where did you get that info?

Tragic news re: Bob Woolmer.

I fear for the families of the Pakistan and Indian players. I really do.

I was disappointed after yesterday's losses but this news now has me down right depressed.

The sky news lady said that he was found in a big pile of vomit and that suicide was being cited by the reporter as the most likely cause of death

Seems likely suicide when you take all the info into account - they found signs of vomiting = nothing confirmed but it has to be 90% cause of death right now [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
