After the defeat yesterday, Woolmer said, ""I would like to sleep on my future as a coach. It's what I do best, what I try to do best. Therefore I'm not going to throw away coaching just like that.

"However, internationally I will give it some thought. Travelling and being involved non-stop in hotels and so on takes its toll."

Sadly it looks as though he might have been right.

From BBC.

Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer has died after being discovered in his Jamaica hotel room on Sunday morning.

The 58-year-old former South Africa coach, who played for England between 1975-81, was found unconscious at the Pegasus Hotel at 1045 local time.
He was taken to the emergency ward of the nearby University hospital but did not regain consciousness.
Pakistan were eliminated from the World Cup on Saturday after losing by three wickets to minnows Ireland.
Pakistan team manager Pervez Mir confirmed: "Bob Woolmer has passed away and it is very shocking news to all of the team and the team mamangement."
Pakistan's preparations for the World Cup had been far from ideal.
Following the infamous forfeited Test against England at The Oval last summer, two of their leading fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif, were suspended after failing doping tests.
The pair later saw those bans rescinded but missed the World Cup because of injury, something Woolmer admitted had hindered the team. "There are a number of extenuating circumstances in the last six months that have made coaching Pakistan slightly different to normal sides," he said after the defeat by Ireland.
