Travis Head then walked out in the middle but his stay was a short one as he was sent packing by Nauman Ali for 8 , courtesy a good catch from Rizwan behind the stumps.

Autopsy reports reveal reason behind Shane Warne's death

The autopsy reports have revealed the reason behind former Australia cricketer Shane Warne’s death. As per the Thai authorities, the reports have confirmed that Warne died of natural causes. It was initially revealed that the former player had passed away due to a suspected heart attack at the age of 52 while he was in Thailand with his friends. “Today investigators received the autopsy result, in which the medical opinion is that the cause of death is natural,” deputy national police spokesman Kissana Phathanacharoen said, according to Channel News Asia. “Investigators will summarize the autopsy result for prosecutors within the timeframe of the law.” A German woman is also being investigated by the Thai police for a potential security breach involving the body of Warne. The woman had spent over half a minute alone in the ambulance with Warne’s body as per ABC. The Thai police understood that the woman knew Warne personally, as reported by Fox Sports. Warne had complained of chest pain Shane Warne’s manager James Erskine has revealed that he had complained of ‘chest pain and sweating’ after undergoing a two-week fluid-only diet. “He did go on these ridiculous sorts of diets and he just finished one, where he basically only ate fluids for 14 days and he’d done this three or four times,” Erskine told ‘Nine Network.’ “It was a bit all or nothing. It was either white buns with butter and lasagne stuffed in the middle or he would be having black and green juices.” “He obviously smoked most of his life. I don’t know; I think it was just a massive heart attack. That’s what I think has happened,” Erskine added.
