On Saturday, the Superintendent of Bo Phut Police Station on Ko Samui, Police Colonel Yuttana Sirisombat, confirmed that routine enquiries into the death of the sporting celebrity revealed that there were no suspicious circumstances linked to the incident and revealed that the star had complained of chest pains at home in Australia before his departure for Thailand where he arrived last Thursday to stay with several friends.

One of Australia’s best-loved sports heroes, 52-year-old cricketer Shane Warne died from natural causes at a luxury hotel resort on Ko Samui last Friday on the first full day of his holiday on the island and minutes after making an appointment for a massage in his room. This was confirmed by the Royal Thai Police in Bangkok on Monday following an autopsy which was carried out at Surat Thani Hospital where the sportsman’s body was transferred to on Sunday. It is understood that Mr Warne’s remains have now been handed over to Australian consular officials in Thailand for repatriation home where he will be accorded a state funeral.

 

Thai police, on Monday, released the results of an autopsy carried out on one of Australia’s top sports personalities who died on Ko Samui last Friday from what is believed to have been a massive heart attack.

This is bloody disgraceful, how was he allowed to travel after complaining about chest pain, he should have had a proper checkup before traveling. 

 

I remember, many years ago I was in my late 30's, staying in a hotel in Din Daeng. I went to reception to complain about sore, shoulder, chest and back pain, asking if there was a clinic/surgery I could visit locally. They asked me to go back to my room and less than 10 minutes a doctor was knocking on my door (no charge, btw) 

It was a little embarrassing, I had a friend in the room, she stayed under the bed sheets hidden the whole time I was being examined. 

 

Too bad Warnie never seeked treatment for chest pains in Koh Samui, I reckon they would have rushed him into surgery for a Stent.

 

I know a few friends that have had a Stent operation here in Pattaya.

On other media outlets there are two photos doing the rounds purported to be from the cctv inside the villa that SW was staying.  If that was authentic, and there is no proof of that I think, it may have been just too much excitement for the poor chap.

Massage can dislodge clots, has happened before.

[grumpyoldman]

When it's your time, it's your time...............I remember when I was living in Phuket we were having monsoonal storms, a guy had just arrived to Patong, happy as could be steps out to get drinks and a girl, BANG, electrocuted from a wire that had come off a pole. Enjoy each day folks.

[siftasam]

One of the greatest cricketers of all time. Unforgettable.

 

I hope you died as you lived, Shane. Much loved and surrounded by spinners.

 

We've all got to go. Maybe you 'pitched into the rough' once too often.

 

Cheers, mate.

We need a massage on TV/AN then. A few clots here that need dislodging. ????

[siftasam]

I think we'll find there were 3.

 

Shane believed in the power of three (and in multiples of 3 , the 'lucky' so-and-so!). 3 children, 3000 Test runs, highest Test score of 99, Test hat-trick at the MCG.

 

He turned up at Uxbridge (of all places!) for a Hampshire match in Playboy pants and with 3 pretty dollies in attendance.

 

Chest pains? With 3 little spinners ('Leggie', 'Topper' and 'Flipper')? - 2 on top and going for a hat trick?

 

He'd need more than Vegemite on toast to tackle that.

 

"Unhealthy food, dangers of beer and smoking, bad liquid diet"?

 

Wherever Warnie is now (and I hope he's not where he's really going to need lip zinc!), he'll be laughing his socks off at what's been said, I suspect.

 

Thanks for all the memories, cobber. If I had a Green Baggy, I would doff it, Shane.

Exactly and a far better way to go then like some other celebrities who have met their end in Thailand. David Carradine being one example.

It was at a resort for 5 nights (@ 2,000 GBPounds/night?) Four mates sharing

This girl (ON THE RIGHT) seems very keen to leave....

Was she the last person to see him before CPR was started?

Hope that girl with the red patterned dress did'n't get on top of him with her weight bearing down on his chest.

[rbkk]

What's being said here?....Look's like a (farang?) manager and his phone....I'm guessing left handed as he's holding the phone in his right hand and wearing (perhaps) a wristwatch on his right wrist....Organising transportation???

What do you mean "allowed."  Do we now all have our personal nannies who hover over us and tell us what we can and can't do?  He was an grown adult.  The man is responsible for his own health. 
If he had chest pains, did nothing about them, chose to travel, and subsequently died?  That was his choice and his responsibility. 
Not getting checked out? Foolish?  Yep.  And he paid the price.
End of story. 
For others.  If your over 50 and experience chest pains, don't wait for your nanny to tell you to go to a doctor.  Be smart.  Get it checked out ASAP.

My Maths. are terrible.

 

Had he been to Hooters? If so, if he came back with three Hooters and each Hooter had two hooters, how many hooters is that altogether?

 

Enough? More than enough?

[siftasam]

You can't blame him.

 

It is a good offer.

Why has nothing been mentioned about the Covid-19 rules?

-I see no masks in the pictures above.

-As they landed after 6pm the next day is their Day 1 ("If you arrive during 18.01-00.00 Hrs, the day after is Day 1.")

https://www.visitsamui.org/samuiplus

-When did they get their negative results?

-Did the resort organise these visitors against Covid-19 restrictions? (Tailor and 4x massage staff)

- What's the timestamp on the CCTV?

I'm still curious....

Answers...

 

- Because no one is juvenile enough to be bothered about a mask when an international sporting legend has died before his time of something completely unrelated to mask-wearing.

 

- Time of arrival is irrelevant - PCR tests can be carried out quickly (I arrived at 8am - had a PCR negative result by 1:30pm - free to go anywhere, thats Test&Go). 

 

- You misunderstand the rules because you are applying obsolete Samui Plus rules to a Test & Go arrival and using ‘day counts’ for a quarantine period not a ’Test&Go where an arrival is free to go anywhere as soon as they have their result.

 

- You are digging for a problem that doesn’t exist.

 

- You are curious, or are you just looking for dirt ??? Classy !
