I continued looking around the room and didn't see him. 'There was blood on the pillow and the bed. 'I started to look around the room, and I noticed there was a chair that was overturned,' she said.

She said Woolmer's body was blocking the bathroom door, one of his feet stretched up to the wash basin. The first witness, a hotel chambermaid, Bernice Robinson, described finding Woolmer's body sprawled on a blood-spattered bathroom floor, with an overturned chair in the room and blood on a pillow on the unmade bed. 'Yes, there could have been,' Carey said. 'Would you agree with me there could have been a third party in Mr Woolmer's room at the time of his death?' Pantry asked Carey. The pathologist said it was possible that someone had been with Woolmer around the time of his death. 'I have shown you courtesy and I would like you to show me the same.' 'I would like you not to regard my questions as foolish,' Pantry responded. Pantry asked if it were possible Woolmer was strangled with a pillow, a suggestion the pathologist dismissed as 'foolish' and impossible. The exchanges between Carey and Kent Pantry, the director of public prosecutions, were testy at times. The authorities closed the homicide case nearly three months later after pathologists in Britain, South Africa and Canada concluded the coach died from natural causes.Ĭarey, a consultant to Britain's Metropolitan Police and other agencies, is one of about 50 witnesses expected to testify in the inquest to formally determine the cause of death. Jamaican police announced four days later that Woolmer had been strangled. Woolmer died on March 18, a day after his team were eliminated from the World Cup in an upset defeat by Ireland. 'If this was a routine autopsy, I would account IHD as the cause of death.' 'Forget Bob Woolmer, forget the Pegasus,' he said.
