The cricketing legend was declared dead by doctors in the Thai International Hospital on Friday night. The police confirmed that Warne’s family told them that the leg spinner had a history of asthma and heart disease. The superintendent of the Bo Phut police station on Koh Samui said that Warne recently went to a cardiologist as well. Thus, the police have ruled out anything suspicious about the legend’s death.

Warne’s body will be taken to mainland Thailand for an autopsy on Sunday, while a timeline for the results has not yet been confirmed by Mr. Yuttana. “I am not sure as it depends on the doctor’s opinion”, he said.

Mr. Allan McKinnon, the Australian ambassador to Thailand thanked the Thai police for their cooperation and understanding on behalf of Warne's family. "I'm here on behalf of Shane Warne's family and his travelling companions to thank Superintendent Yuttana and his team here at the Bo Phun Police Station and the hospital in Koh Samui for facilitating this process and getting Shane Warne back to Australia as quickly as possible," he said.
