From Peter Roebuck's SMH column today:
“To a greater and lesser degree all sportsmen die in hotels. That night Woolmer went to his room with its silences and accusing walls, an isolated figure trying to come to terms with futility.
Britain's Daily Mirror said his death was caused by an overdose of prescription medicine and alcohol, but his family pointed to stress.”
If that is the case, how depressing. He shouldn't have expected any more of the Pakistan cricket team, it's what the do! For all of the shit heaped upon him to drive him to that!
He could have quit, walked away and no-one would have thought any less of him.
