Woolmer's death: Pathologist sticks to his findings
A day after the Jamaican police concluded that Woolmer's death was natural and that it was closing the case, Seshaiah stuck to his finding that the Pakistan cricket coach was murdered.
KINGSTON: Indian born pathologist Dr Ere Seshaiah, whose autopsy report guided the Jamaican police to look at the murder angle after the mysterious death of Bob Woolmer, stuck to his finding that the Pakistan cricket coach was murdered.
A day after the Jamaican police concluded that Woolmer's death was natural and that it was closing the case, Seshaiah said "I am sticking to my findings.
"I am confident he was murdered. Woolmer is not a first for me, I have been doing autopsies here since 1995," Seshaiah was quoted as saying by the Jamaica Observer.
Declaring Woolmer's death as natural, after pursuing it as murder for almost three months, Jamaican Constabulary Force (JCF) commissioner Lucius Thomas on Tuesday said three foreign pathologists and toxicology tests had ruled out any foul play in the death of the Pakistani coach on March 18.
Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner Mark Shields, who led the investigation into Woolmer's death refused to step down in the wake of the wrong judgement by the police in treating Woolmer's death as murder.
"I love my job and I love working in this country. I am looking forward to the next two years of my contract. We are not pathologists and if we had not sought other opinions we would have also been criticised," Shields said.
Woolmer was found dead in his room in Pegasus Hotel in Kingston on March 18, a day after his team made a premature exit from the World Cup tournament following Pakistan's unexpected loss to Ireland.
