But he was found unresponsive after suffering a suspected heart attack as he and his mates took an afternoon nap hours before they were meant to head out.

Paramedic Anuch Han-Iam, who was one of the first responders on the scene, said Warne’s friends were already performing CPR when they arrived at the villa. 

‘They were trying to bring him back to life… they were desperate. I think one was crying. Really stressed and panicked,’ he told .

‘They kept trying to wake him… I heard someone saying ”come on Shane, come on”.’

Mr Han-Iam said there were no women in the room, nor was there ‘anything unusual that made [him] think they’d been partying’.    

‘I did my best for him and gave all my energy. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t help him.’

The local police chief said Warne visited a tailor to have a suit made earlier on Friday and ordered two local masseuses to come to his villa.    

‘He called the girl to massage. It was just massage. He didn’t die because of the massage. He wasn’t well,’ he said.

One of Warne’s holiday companions, Sporting News chief executive Tom Hall, revealed the final moments of Warne including an unexpected gift and his last meal. 

Hall, who met Warne at a charity poker tournament 15 years ago, was one of the four friends who was with Warne during his final hours.  

‘I have dined with Shane in many fine establishments, but rather than sample some of the local Thai fare, we tuck into a plate of Vegemite on toast,’ Hall wrote on .

‘Shane chomping away: ‘Geez, you can’t beat Vegemite with some butter, always great wherever you are in the world’.

On the same day, Hall and his friends Andrew Neophitou, 태국여행 Gaz, and Fred were discussing with Warne the best way to watch the Australia vs Pakistan Test on TV.

The cricket legend then ducked into his room before emerging with a very surprising set of gifts for Hall.

‘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 wrote.

Warne entertained his longtime friend with stories about the first season of the Indian Premier League – not knowing it would be one of the last conversations shared between the pair.

Emergency services arrived at the Koh Samui Hospital mortuary at about 8am Sunday local time (12pm AEDT) to transport the late 52-year-old, two days after he suffered a suspected heart attack while holidaying on the Thai island with friends. 

Warne’s family hoped to avoid a post-mortem in Thailand so his body could be flown back to Australia as soon as possible.  

But on Sunday, the cricketing legend’s body was covered in a purple blanket and put into an ambulance to then board a car ferry destined for 태국여행 Surat Thani Hospital – 650km south of Bangkok – for the autopsy.   

Department of Foreign Affairs officials were on board the ferry with Warne’s friends and Australian ambassador Allan McKinnon.

Thai police said the body must be examined to find the cause of death and a report will then be sent to the Australian embassy in Bangkok. 

‘I am waiting for the autopsy report. If there is nothing suspicious, then the case is closed,’ Thai police lieutenant-colonel Chatchawin Nakmusik said on Saturday.

Warne’s family told authorities he was suffering health problems before travelling, including troubles with his asthma and chest pains.

He’d also completed a 14-day ‘extreme’ liquid diet in an attempt to slim down in the days before his death. 

Just five days ago, Warne shared an old picture of himself without a shirt to Instagram, revealing he was working hard to get back in shape.

‘Operation shred has started (10 days in) & the goal by July is to get back to this shape from a few years ago ! Let’s go,’ he wrote.

Warne’s long-time manager James Erskine revealed on Sunday that Warne took to drastic measures to trim down, including partaking in liquid-only diets.

At the time of his death, 파타야풀빌라 he’d recently finished an extreme and ‘ridiculous’ cleanse in which he only had fluids for about 14 days, Erskine revealed.

‘It was a bit all or nothing. It was either white buns with butter and lasagne stuffed in the middle, or he would be having black and green juices,’ he said.

‘He obviously smoked most of his life [but] I don’t know, I think it was just a massive heart attack. That’s what I think’s happened.’

For her airport look, Katie completed her ab-flashing outfit with comfortable white trainers and toted a Louis Vuitton bag while clutching her face mask.

She wore her dyed-blonde hair up in a high pony and opted for a glamorous makeup look complete with a slick of light pink lip.

It comes after on Tuesday Katie unveiled the results of her 13th boob job while on a boat trip with her fiancé  during their holiday to .

According to , Katie’s family are ‘horrified’ at her latest procedure and are said to be disappointed surgeons agreed to perform on her. 

A source said: ‘It’s getting really silly now and more than a little irresponsible.Everyone’s quite horrified, to be honest.

Katie’s mother Amy previously admitted she fears her daughter might have body dysmphoria, telling The Sunday Times: ‘She doesn’t tell me now because she knows I’ll go ballistic.

‘Maybe she does it because she doesn’t feel she’s attractive enough, or maybe it’s body dysmorphia.Part of the problem is she gets her surgeries free, so someone is always capitalising on her name.’

The mother-of-five had her first cosmetic surgery at the tender age 18 where she had a boob job taking her breasts for a B cup to a C cup and had her first liposuction.  

Last year on Steph’s Packed Lunch, Katie visited Dr Prakesh who performed her first cosmetic operation and was told he wouldn’t perform on her now.

He told her: ‘If you came to me now, I would not do surgery.The risk of repeated botox and fillers is you age faster sometimes. With repeated surgery you are interfering with the skin, stretching it, and you lose elasticity.’

Carl has also told Katie to lay off the surgeries, previously telling OK!magazine: ‘There is a point when it’s too much and an unnecessary risk. I think the surgery does need to stop. You can look too plastic.’

Speaking previously to The Sun about her surgeries, Katie said: ‘If I’m honest with you, if there’s no pain, there’s no gain. The price of beauty is sometimes you have to go through pain.

‘Is it painful?The first surgery I had was uncomfortable. These boobs have been to America, England, Belgium and now these are Turkey boobs. I’ve just had them reduced.

‘My old implants – I have them in a bag – they were a thousand CC and, Jesus, when I hold them they were really heavy.’

He was found unconscious with the historic first Test match between Australia and Pakistan playing on the television. 

Neophitou frantically began performing CPR on the Australian sporting legend before an ambulance arrived.

Warne, a father of three, was pronounced dead on arrival at the Thai International Hospital. 

‘Neo (quickly) realised he (Warne) wasn’t well. He tried to give mouth-to-mouth, tried to resuscitate him, but he had no heartbeat,’ Erskine told the .

‘He (Warne) was on holiday, 파타야풀빌라 having a lie down, a siesta, he hadn’t been drinking. He’d been on this diet to lose weight… everyone thinks he’s a big boozer, but he’s not.’

Erskine also confirmed drugs were not involved as Warne ‘hated’ them.

Warne’s three kids – Brooke, Summer and Jackson – were said to be ‘shattered’ by the news of their father’s death, as tributes continue to roll in from all walks of life – including entertainment and politics.

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger labelled the Australian the ‘greatest spin bowler ever’, 파타야풀빌라 while musician Ed Sheeran said he would bloody miss’ his ‘amazing friend’.  

In a statement, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Warne was ‘one of only a few that could approach the extraordinary achievements of the great (Sir) Don Bradman’ and that he was ‘one of our nation’s greatest characters.’

‘His humour, his passion, his irreverence, his approachability ensured he was loved by all. Australians loved him. We all did,’ Mr Morrison said. 

Victorian premier Dan Andrews confirmed the MCG’s Great Southern Stand would be renamed the S.K. Warne Stand, as a ‘permanent tribute to an amazing Victorian.’ 

Warne has often admitted his life changed forever after his ‘ball of the century’ to England batsman Mike Gatting at Old Trafford in the 1993 Ashes series, a delivery which catapulted the leg-spinner into stardom. 

‘Absolutely devastating and I just feel so sad for his family. It is a huge loss to many, many people,’ Gatting told Sky Sports News when asked about Warne’s shock passing.

‘Without a doubt, he is the number one ever. I should think there have been a lot of great cricketers, great spinners and great leg-spinners but Warnie will always be, certainly from my point of view, the number one.

‘He had all the things a cricketer needed, a lot of self-confidence, a lot of ability, the discipline, passion and desire.

‘Above all he had time to enjoy it. He had great fun playing cricket and resonated with a lot of youngsters.

‘The inspirational leg-spin he bowled I am sure inspired many, many guys to take up leg-spin bowling.’   

During his career Warne gained a reputation as the blonde-haired, blue-eyed hero of the sport, a champion bowler on the pitch and a playboy off it, famed for his love of high profile women, beer and cigarettes

Australian captain Pat Cummins also delivered a moving video tribute after the tragic news was confirmed.

‘We are all numbed by the news. Shane was a once-in-a-century cricketer and his achievements will stand for all time, but apart from the wickets he took and the games he helped Australia win, what he did was draw so many people to the sport,’ he said.

‘So many of us in the playing group grew up idolising him and fell in love with this great sport as a result, while many of our support staff either played with him or against him.

‘It has been a terrible couple of days for Australian cricket with the passing of Rod Marsh and now Shane. Our thoughts are with both families and, in Shane’s case, particularly with his parents Keith and Bridgette, his brother Jason and his children Jackson, Summer and Brooke.

‘The game of cricket was never the same after Shane emerged, and it will never be the same now he has gone. Rest in peace King.’
