4. Legendary coach Bob Woolmer’s mysterious death
The biggest controversy of the 2007 World Cup came when their India-born British coach, Bob Woolmer, was found dead on March 18. This shock came one day after his team's defeat to Ireland put them out of the tournament. Jamaican police performed an autopsy on the 58-year-old which was deemed inconclusive.
But the next day, further investigation revealed the cause of death was "manual strangulation." Hence, it was considered a murder.
It was later discovered that he was diagnosed with diabetes and his heart weighed an abnormally heavy 520 grams. Moreover, he also suffered from sleep apnea, which meant he would stop breathing in his sleep. Therefore, it was revealed that he used to wear a mask attached to a machine.
