<b>THE Pakistan team is very "worried" today, its officials said, after Jamaican police launched a murder investigation into the death of the coach Bob Woolmer.</b>
Police in Kingston said the Englishman's death on Monday (AEDT) was "due to asphyxiation as a result of manual strangulation".
<b>"Tragic, yes, worrying yes, because we have a member of our team, a national coach of Pakistan, who has been murdered and this is not something which can be taken lightly,"</b> Pervez Mir, the team spokesman, said at their Ritz Carlton hotel base in Montego Bay.
<b>"Because we have other members of team management, we have the team, of course we are all very worried right now."
</b>
The 58-year-old Briton was found unconscious in his hotel room, with vomit on the walls and signs of blood on his body.
The previous day, Pakistan was eliminated from the World Cup by debutant Ireland.
<b>
"If a man dies of natural causes, that's life, that's nature," Mir added.
"But when somebody is murdered as we now know from the police this is very alarming and very worrying.</b>
<b>"It's a very, very scary situation for us . . . when you hear something like this and a member of our team has been targeted.</b>Â <!--emo&

"We don't know what's behind the murder. We have to get to the bottom of this. The loss we have suffered has to be investigated and the culprits have to be brought to justice."
The players had flown out of Kingston earlier in the day after being questioned by police.
