The autopsy reports have found the cause of death for Australia cricket legend Shane Warne, who passed away on Friday.
Shane Warne, aged 52, was initially revealed to have died of a suspected heart attack while he was on a vacation in Thailand with his friends. The autopsy report, as confirmed by Thai authorities, revealed that he died of natural causes.
“According to the medical examiner’s report, the cause of death is natural,” said deputy national police spokesman Kissana Phathanacharoen.
Investigators will summarize the autopsy result in a timely manner in order to provide it to prosecutors.
Warne was found unresponsive at the villa in Thailand they were staying in. His friends tried to revive him for 20 minutes but they failed before he was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Thai police are also investigating a potential security breach involving the body of Warne, by a German woman, which was captured in film. According to ABC, the woman entered the ambulance with Warne’s body and spent over half a minute alone in the vehicle.
She walked towards the ambulance while carrying a small bunch of flowers and was accompanied by a Thai woman who was seen talking to the authorities near the ferry ramp.
The two are then seen walking towards the ambulance with the German woman approaching the window. The driver then opens the door and the woman is seen closing it behind her. The Thai police are concerned that the time spent alone with the body, which was still subject to autopsy, might have compromised the investigation.
Thai police reportedly understood that the woman knew the former Australian cricketer personally.
