No foul play suspected at Shane Warne villa: Thai police

No foul play is suspected in the death of Australian cricket great Shane Warne at a Thai holiday island villa, local police said Saturday. 

“No foul play was suspected at the scene based on our investigation,” reports news agency AFP citing a Thai police officer.

The 52-year-old Australian legend was found unresponsive at Samujana Villas on Koh Samui Island on Friday. 

Warne’s management released a brief statement in the early hours of Saturday (AEDT), 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 news came as the second devastating blow for Australian cricket within 24 hours with fellow great, Rod Marsh, also dying on Friday having suffered a major heart attack last week.
