He was on holiday with friends on Samui Island in southern Thailand.

A post-mortem examination found the 52-year-old had died of a suspected heart attack.

A state memorial at Melbourne Cricket Ground – the home of many of Warne’s greatest moments – is on March 30th and will be open to the public.

The ground’s Great Southern Stand will be renamed in his honour.
