Cricket superstar Shane Warne died of natural causes, Thai police said Monday, citing an autopsy report.
The legendary Australian leg-spinner died on the Thai holiday island of Koh Samui on Friday after being found unresponsive at a luxury villa.
Warne, one of cricket’s all-time greats, died of a suspected heart attack at the age of 52 in Koh Samui, Thailand, where he had been on holidays. Warne — one of the greatest Test cricketers of all time — was found unresponsive at his luxury villa at the Samujana resort on Friday evening.
He had reportedly been due to meet friends, who went in search of him when he failed to emerge from his quarters. “Despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived,” a statement from his management company said.
His body was brought to the Thai International Hospital Samui at around 6:00 pm local time (1100 GMT). “No foul play was suspected at the scene based on our investigation,” Thai police told.
As Australia awoke to the news on Saturday, fans laid flowers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where there is a statue in Warne’s honour.
