By Australian cricketer Shane Warne, one of the best leg-spinners ever whose talent and playing style transformed the bowling game, died at age 52.
As per his chief Michael Cohen, he passed on from a heart attack. While addressing his death he stated, “Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived. The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.”
As per sources, Thailand Police said Warne and his 3 friends were in a private villa and one of them went to ask about him after the former leg spinner didn’t show up for dinner.
“The friend did CPR on him and called an ambulance” Chatchawin Nakmusik, a police officer with the Bo Put in Koh Samui, told Reuters on a phone call.
“An emergency response unit then arrived and did another CPR for 10-20 minutes. Then an ambulance from the Thai International Hospital arrived and took him there. They did CPR for five minutes, and then he died,” he said further.
The police didn’t have a clue about the reason for death yet were not regarding it as a suspicious incident, Chatchawin said.
