March 22, 2007 <b>FORMER Irish Cricket Union president Bob Kerr died of a suspected heart attack in Kingston, Jamaica, today (AEDT).</b>

Ireland assistant coach Matt Dwyer said that Kerr died during the night "from what we believe was a heart attack"

"He was with his wife on holidays and spent time with the fans," said Dwye.

"We last spoke to him after the Pakistan match and he was in good spirits. He wasn't in ill-health."

Dwyer said Kerr's wife called hotel staff in the middle of the night and he died on the way to the hospital.

Kerr, an executive board member of the Irish Cricket Union and chairman of the North West Cricket Union, was in his mid-60s, said Dwyer.

<b>It is the second death involving people associated with the Ireland v Pakistan World Cup match here on Saturday. Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer died on Sunday, hours after Ireland's upset victory.</b>
