Shane Warne, the Australian cricket great, has died after suffering a suspected heart attack, aged 52.

A statement from his management team, issued on Friday afternoon, said that Warne had died suddenly while in Thailand.

It read: “Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived.

“The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.”

Warne had posted a message on Twitter just 12 hours before news of his death emerged, paying tribute to fellow Australian cricket great Rod Marsh, who died on Thursday at the age of 74.
