Allah khair karay. No sporting loss supercedes human life. Hopefully Bob is OK.
Re: Bob Woolmer found unconscious in hotel room
From his diaries, Bob Woolmer comes across as a man of very even temperament. Difficult to believe that Pak's WC exit by itself could have anything to do with this.
Of he may have just spent the night drinking heavily. Of course, all conjecture.

** Coach Woolmer rushed to hospital**
Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer has been rushed to hospital after being found unconscious in his hotel room.
The 58-year-old former South Africa coach, who played for England between 1975-81, was discovered at his hotel in Jamaica at 1045 local time on Sunday.
Pakistan were eliminated from the World Cup on Saturday after losing by three wickets to minnows Ireland.
Team manager Pervez Mir confirmed: “We have taken him to hospital and he is in an emergency ward.”
Woolmer said after the Ireland match that he was considering his future in the game.
His contract was in any case unlikely to be renewed by the Pakistan Cricket Board after the tournament.
But Woolmer said: "I’m going to sleep on this one as I’ve had a very bad day, which ranks along with my worst days as a coach.
"Coaching is what I like to do but whether I continue to do that at international level is under discussion.
“I’m going to give it some thought.”
The PCB is expected to release a statement later on Sunday.

Re: Bob Woolmer found unconscious in hotel room
Just heard of Bob Woolmer, this is not good news. Our prayers with his family.
Atleast someone has sharam and has taken it to the heart, our Captain very conviniently passed the bucket to God's will.

Hope it's nothing serious and he makes a speedy recovery

If it was not, it would be a BIG co-incidence that this would happen one day after "his worst day in his coaching career" (as he himself put it).
But I still think, he probably just drank too much like Englishmen are prone to do (think Flintoff).
