Murder suspicion ruled out in Australian cricket star Shane Warren's death
Thai police today ruled out a crime that caused the death of Australian cricket star Shane Warne, who is suspected of suffering a heart attack that led to his death at the age of fifty-two on the tourist island of Koh Samui.
Condolences poured in from heads of government, rock stars and athletes to the King of Spin, in honor of the son of Melbourne, who contributed to the promotion of cricket.
Warren, one of the greatest cricketers in history and a batsman of 708 wickets in international matches, was found dead on Friday evening at his luxury villa in the Thai resort of Samujana.
He was due to meet friends who searched for him when he did not leave his place of residence.
"Despite the efforts of the medical staff, they were unable to revive him," a statement from the company running his business said.
His body was taken to the Thai International Hospital.
In turn, the police told AFP, "No crime is suspected at the scene based on our investigations."
As Australia woke up to the news today, fans laid flowers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground where a statue was erected in Warren's honor.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison called him "one of our nation's greatest" and announced a full state funeral for the late star.
