“From what we could observe, there was no wound, no sign of struggle.”

“The room was in normal condition. Everything looked normal, as if the victim was just sleeping in the room, kept cool and comfortable with the airconditioning on.”

Chatchawin Nakmusik of the Bo Put police told Reuters that Warne’s friends would be questioned by police.

He said there was no signs of foul play.

Were people thinking there was foul play in Thailand?

The Quantum World can come calling for any of us, at any time: thin, fat, fit, coach potato, famous, anonymous, vegan or meat eater.  Despite social media and social pressures, there is no one strategy for longer living. 

He was a joy to watch bowling.

Had the privilege of watching Warne and McGrath in their pomp, destroying England in Perth. Never been so relaxed about seeing England demolished but watching pure class is an all too rare experience.

Class cricketer, class bloke.

RIP.

No.  Your comment may make you feel better, but the reality is different than what you imagine. The deceased was described as a smoker, heavy drinker, and in poor physical shape.  He had a history of drug abuse and partying hard. This is the test book portrait of the type of person who drops dead early. He  had a good time while he lived, but it came with a cost.

My comment was a generalisation, not a comment on SW and the reason for his early death. He is one example; Churchill. another over weight  heavy drinker and smoker and a man who hated to walk anywhere, let alone exercise, lived into his 90s and is a contrary example.

Yep, and generally speaking, the more unhealthy your lifestyle, the earlier you go. 

There are always exceptions.

I think a similar investigation would have been conducted by any other countries since it involves a well known person and the death happens at a relatively younger age than normal

I asked friends around the world and no one outside Australia or England has ever heard of this guy. I am sorry for the family's loss but why the big fuss over someone known in barely two, maybe three countries.

I’m not going to assume where you are from, however outside of English football, cricket has the greatest global reach. Warne has been adjudged in the top 5 ever to play the game. The equivalent of a Diego Maradonna in his sport. This, along with his ongoing contribution to the game, the age at which he died and his persona, meant this was always going to be a big story.

He was a cheating Argentinian, who didn't know what sportsmanship was, he also played the most boring sport ever played.
