"Renowned cricket writer Peter Roebuck took the extreme step of committing suicide after being questioned by police about an alleged sexual assault, media reports said on Sunday.
A report in the Sydney Morning Herald, a newspaper in which Roebuck's columns appeared regularly, said a Cape Town detective and a uniformed police officer from the sexual crimes unit began speaking with Roebuck in his hotel room about 9pm.
Roebuck then sought help from a fellow cricket journalist by saying, 'Can you come down to my room quickly? I've got a problem' and it is believed only the uniformed officer was in the room, according to the report."
