Mumbai, Mar 22: Gill, wife of the late Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer, said on Wednesday that she did not suspect foul play in his death in a Jamaican hotel on Sunday.

Woolmer died aged 58 after being found unconscious in his hotel room the morning after his side's shock World Cup defeat by Ireland. The result eliminated them from the showpiece event.

"I don't see any conspiracy in his death," Gill told an Indian television news channel.

"I am aware that his death is being viewed as a suspicious death.

"He had nothing to do with the match-fixing controversy and any such person being involved is highly unlikely. We never got any threats as far as I know," she told NDTV India in a telephone interview.

Jamaican police said on Tuesday it is now treating Woolmer's death as "suspicious" and have collected sufficient information to continue a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

"I didn't speak to him after the match but he emailed me the following morning," Gill said, referring to the defeat to Ireland.

"He did mention that he was really depressed and could not believe how this could have happened. We discussed some personal issues apart from this."
