SHANE WARNE’S AUTOPSY CONFIRMS DEATH DUE TO NATURAL CAUSES: THAI POLICE

(The Quiver): Cricket superstar Shane Warne died of natural causes, Thai police said Monday, as his family lamented a “tragedy we will never come to terms with”. The legendary Australian leg-spinner died on the Thai holiday island of Koh Samui on Friday after being found unresponsive at a luxury villa. Initial reports suggested the 52-year-old suffered a heart attack and autopsy results on Monday confirmed he died of natural causes.

Today investigators received the autopsy result, in which the medical opinion is that the cause of death is natural,” Kissana Phathanacharoen said in a statement.

“Investigators will summarize the autopsy result for prosecutors within the timeframe of the law.”Meanwhile, Warne’s family have opened up on their “never-ending nightmare” since he passed away.”To find words to adequately express our sadness is an impossible task for us and looking to a future without Shane is inconceivable, hopefully the mountain of happy memories we all have will help us cope with our ongoing grief,” the statement said.

Warne’s eldest daughter Brook, 24, paying tribute to her father, was quoted as saying by ok.co.uk that, “We were so similar in so many ways and I always used to joke that I got your genes and about how much that annoyed me!”Well now I couldn’t be happier and prouder that I have your genes. I am lucky and will forever be so proud to call you my Dad forever. I love you to infinity and back and I will miss you forever.”
