Police in Thailand said a friend staying at the same resort went to check on Warne when the cricket star failed to arrive for dinner and found him unconscious in a villa. Warne was taken by ambulance to Thai International Hospital and later his body was transferred to Ko Samui Hospital for an autopsy.
“They were going to have a drink . . . or go and meet someone to go out and have a drink at 5 p.m.,” Erskine said. “And Neo knocked on his door at 5:15 p.m. because Warnie is always on time. “We all grew up watching Warnie, idolizing him,” Australia captain Pat Cummins said. “What we loved so much about Warnie was his showmanship, his charisma, his tactics, the way he willed himself and the team around him to win games for Australia."
Warne was often given the ball when Australia was in trouble or desperate for a wicket, and regularly was able to turn matches around with a mesmerizing spell of bowling, Just before the 2003 World Cup in South Africa, Warne was banned for 12 months for taking a prohibited substance, which he blamed on a diuretic his mother had given him to “improve his appearance.” But he returned in 2004 and in the third Ashes test of 2005 he became the first bowler in history to take 600 test wickets.
