The late Bob Woolmer, former Pakistan cricket coach. - ReutersA month after Police Commissioner Lucius Thomas closed the book on the Bob Woolmer case, Coroner Patrick Murphy has yet to conclude that the Pakistan cricket coach died of natural causes.
In addition, it is still unknown whether there will be an inquest into the bungled investigation.
A representative at the Coroner's Office said on Wednesday that the documents pertaining to the case were in Mr. Murphy's hands.
"(I am) not in a position to say if and when there will be an inquest," she said.
She added, "Not able to say when a decision will be arrived at regarding the inquest. However, when it is, all parties involved will be notified".
On June 12, before a worldwide audience, Commissioner Thomas confirmed that Mr. Woolmer, who was found unconscious on March 18 at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel, in New Kingston, had died of natural causes and not murder as was previously stated by the Jamaican police.
During a press conference held at the Police Officers' Club last month, Commissioner Thomas said the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) was in the process of submitting a final report to the coroner as "ultimately it will be his office that will determine the cause of Bob Woolmer's death".
"The JCF has provided him with a comprehensive investigation to assist him in his deliberations," the commissioner said last month, at the Police Officers' Club.
Minister of National Security Dr. Peter Phillips mandated former Court of Appeal judge, Justice Ian Forte, to review the investigations of the Woolmer case and give a report as to what went wrong. The report is due within weeks.
