On 18 March 2007 (the day after Pakistan's unexpected defeat to Ireland) Bob Woolmer was found unconscious in his hotel room in Kingston, Jamaica. He was taken to the nearby University Hospital but it was later confirmed that he had died. Mir, the Pakistan team media manager said that Woolmer had suffered from an un-named medical condition although Naseem Ashraf, the Chairman of the PCB, later said that Woolmer had complained of breathing difficulties before the team left for the World Cup, and also revealed that he had been a diabetic. His son was subsequently reported as saying that Woolmer may have died as a result of stress brought on by his job or from a heart attack.

After the death, ex-Pakistan cricketer Sarfaraz Nawaz speculated that Woolmer had been murdered by a betting syndicate, that betting controlled the game, and that Woolmer was preparing to divulge the details in a book being prepared for publication before his death. His wife, however, said that he had never mentioned match fixing to her before he died.

On Wednesday 21 March 2007, following an inconclusive autopsy, the Jamaican Police announced that they were treating Woolmer's death as suspicious and that they had informed Woolmer's family of this. The formal results of the autopsy would not be announced until after the results of toxicology reports. Mark Shields, Deputy Commissioner of Jamaica's police, a British policeman on long-term secondment from Scotland Yard, said they were unable to say at that stage whether they were pursuing a murder investigation. ...
