Legendary Australian cricketer Shane Warne has died. The greatest leg-spinner of all-time suffered a suspected heart attack in Thailand. He was 52.
A brief statement has been issued by Warne's management, which read: “Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived. The family requests a privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course."
Just hours before his death, Warne had tweeted a tribute to Rod Marsh, who died earlier the same day, eight days after suffering a heart attack: "Sad to hear the news that Rod Marsh has passed. He was a legend of our great game & an inspiration to so many young boys & girls. Rod cared deeply about cricket & gave so much-especially to Australia & England players. Sending lots & lots of love to Ros & the family. RIP mate."
