Australia cricket legend Shane Warne dies of suspected heart attack
The cricket world is in shock, as legend Shane Warne dies of a suspected heart attack
Australia cricket legend and the greatest leg-spinner of all-time, Shane Warne, has died, aged 52.
Warne’s management released a statement in the early hours of Saturday saying that he passed away in Koh Samui, Thailand, of a suspected heart attack.
“Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived,” the statement reads.
“The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.”
According to the Herald Sun newspaper, attempts by Warne’s close friend and associate Andrew Neophitou to revive him were unsuccessful.
Staff at the Thai International Hospital told AFP in Bangkok that Warne’s body was taken to their facility around 6:00 pm local time (1100 GMT) from Samujana Villas, a luxury resort in the northeast of Koh Samui.
Australian captain Pat Cummins, currently leading the team on a tour of Pakistan, said Warne was “a hero” to the current generation of cricketers.
World reaction
Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara, who with Shane Warne formed Test cricket’s holy trinity of the 1990s and 2000s, have shared their griefs at the sudden death of the Australian sporting great.
Warne was cricket’s greatest modern day superstar, and took 708 wickets in his spellbinding Test career as a leg-spinner.
Known internationally as “Warnie”, the Victorian made his Test debut at the SCG in 1992 and by the end of his career was rated one of the top five cricketers of the 20th century by Wisden.
Off the field, Warne made headlines from the UK to Australia and at one point dated actress, Liz Hurley.
Australian Test opener David Warner said he was struggling to take in the loss of Warne and Rod Marsh on the same day – posting a picture of them together.
“Two legends of our game have left us too soon. I’m lost for words, and this is extremely sad,” said Warner on Twitter.
“My thoughts and prayers go out to the Marsh and Warne family. I just cannot believe it. RIP you both will be missed.”

Sheriff Nanos addresses evidence claims and FBI collaboration in Nancy Guthrie case amidst ongoing investigation controversies
– Sheriff Nanos confirmed no glove was found at Nancy’s residence and maintains evidence analysis through a trusted lab.
– He believes Nancy’s case involves kidnapping, but all new evidence and possibilities are still under investigation.
In a new interview with Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, he answers various topics concerning the ongoing investigation of Nancy’s case.Nanos stated that his office did not locate a glove at Nancy’s residence. He affirmed, “We have no glove. We never found a glove on that property.”
The sheriff explained that his office has utilised the same contracted lab for decades, long before his tenure. Evidence was initially submitted to this lab, which holds the Guthrie family DNA and other swabs. He stated it was logical to continue sending evidence there for immediate analysis alongside existing samples.
He noted the FBI’s agreement, expressing confidence in their crime lab but opting for the private lab due to initial arrangements.
Nanos asserted cooperation with the FBI, disputing claims of reluctance in seeking assistance. He contacted the FBI promptly after Nancy’s disappearance and allowed them to lead on ransom notes due to their expertise.
Investigation Details
On the possibility of kidnapping, he stated, “we believe it’s a kidnapping” while maintaining other possibilities should be considered. Different gloves were found miles away, but the importance of each remains under review.
No individuals have been definitively ruled out as suspects. Nanos described a man briefly detained nearby, stating he was satisfied with his alibi. He refrained from confirming any forced entry at Nancy’s home but did mention that blood and DNA were found at the scene.
He addressed criticism regarding the timing of releasing the crime scene, asserting that his office acted appropriately. Allegations about family involvement were dismissed, emphasising the family’s full cooperation.
Nanos confirmed communication with Savanah Guthrie but indicated she has her support system.
He dismissed past reports of a strained relationship with the FBI, asserting mutual respect and collaboration remain intact.
