Elementary my dear Woolmer?

Am I the only one who has now come back full circle on the Bob Woolmer tragedy. Given everything I am now of the belief that this whole incident is just one of those freak accidents that can look like murder ... Could it be possible that he fell ill, vomited in the bathroom, fell and hit his neck on a toilet or the sink and ended up knocking himself unconscious and unable to breathe.

Does this sound unlikely?? Is it more believable that someone, perhaps someone he knew, killed him because of a row over losing a cricket match, or a match-fixing mafia consortium put a hit out on him, that this person or persons came into the secure hotel, walked past the reception, all under CCTV, got into the lift with or without a swipe card, got off on the 12th floor, came into his room, through the door or balcony without leaving any trace, subdued a rather large man, without any signs of struggle, and than strangled him to death leaving him in a pool of vomit and a gash on his face? This person or persons then took the time to fake two emails one at 3am to his wife and the other at 6am resigning as coach before leaving the hotel probably in the same manner in which they arrived.

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
