Shane Warne death date: How did Shane Warne die?

Shane Warne death date: The legendary leg-spinner from Australia died earlier this year due to a suspected heart attack in Thailand.

The whole cricketing fraternity went into shock when Shane Warne passed away earlier this year. Warne was one of the best-ever players to ever play the game, and he finished as the 2nd highest international wicket-taker behind Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan.

Warne was the first bowler in the world to surpass the milestone of 700 test wickets. He ended his career with 708 test wickets, whereas he has 293 ODI wickets under his belt. He made his debut against India and was just one of the two bowlers to complete the milestone of 1000 international wickets.

Apart from his on-field heroics, Warne was involved in quite a few off-the-field controversies as well throughout his career. He failed the drug test ahead of the 2003 World Cup. He has also been in a rift with Muttiah Muralitharan, Arjuna Ranatunga and Steve Waugh. Earlier this year, an Australian OnlyFans star claimed that she had an affair with Warne.
