Woolmer, 58, was found unconscious in his hotel room by cleaners at 10.45 am and was rushed to hospital and admitted to intensive care where he later passed away, Pakistan team media manger Pervez Mir told reporters. According to another version, Woolmer was brought dead to hospital. The cause of death was not immediately released.
