Thomas Hall, CEO of The Sporting News and late Shane Warne’s friend has shared a couple of images of the deceased cricketer on his Instagram account. Warne, 52, passed away on March 4 due to a suspected heart attack while vacationing in Thailand along with Hall and other friends.

Thai police confirmed on Monday night an autopsy at the Surat Thani Hospital found Warne died of natural causes. Shane Warne had recently complained of ‘chest pain and sweating’ after undergoing a “ridiculous” two-week fluid-only diet before he left for his vacation, the Australian spin legend’s manager James Erskine revealed.

Warne will receive a state funeral in Victoria, while a stand will be named after him in the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). His demise was the second of the tragedies that hit Australian and world cricket, as former keeper Rod Marsh, 74, also departed after being in a coma for a week as he had suffered a heart attack as well.

Shane Warne’s state funeral likely to be held at MCG; a crowd of 100,000 expected: Reports

Shane had been working with me at The Sporting News for the past year or so and he presented me with his jumper from the 2005 Ashes Test, his 2008 IPL shirt, and a one-day international shirt and cap to place in the TSN offices in Australia and the UK,” Hall said in his article for Sporting News.

Hall, meanwhile, also shared details of his getaway with Warne, including the fact the Victorian’s final meal was vegemite on toast.

He also shared a few photos of Shane Warne, who are thought to be the last images of the spin legend alive.
