Australia’s legend Shane Warne has died of a suspected heart attack at the age of just 52, his management confirmed on Friday.
“Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived,” Warne’s management said in a statement.
“The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course,” the statement added.
With 708 Test wickets, second only to by Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan’s 800, Warne was the greatest leg-spinner of all time.
He also took 293 One-Day International wickets and made more than 300 appearances for Australia across all formats.
