Warne, 52, died of a suspected heart attack on Friday despite his manager giving the cricketer CPR for 20 minutes before an ambulance arrived.

On Sunday, skynews.com.au reported that investigators had found blood on the floor and bath towels in the room Warne was staying. The report also said that Australian authorities have arrived in Thailand and are working to repatriate his body.



Former Australian wicketkeeper-batter, Ian Healy, had said on Saturday that he wasn't surprised by the leg-spinner's early death.


"An early passing didn't surprise me for Warnie," Healy told The Today Show.


"He didn't look after his body that well. He yo-yoed up and down. He didn't put much sunscreen on. I thought it would have become skin issues for him over time, but not at 52. And he would have been full of beans right to the end, I bet.

"If you could take two cricket people out of our sport that were the most engaged and upbeat characters we had, they are gone within the space of a week," Healy said.


"Both men (died) way too early. We needed yarns from these two, Rod and Warnie, for at least another 20 years."
