As per the local police information, one of Warne’s
friends found the Aussie legend unresponsive around 5 PM.

Warne died just 12 hours after Australia’s great
wicketkeeper-batter Rodney Marsh passed away, also due to a heart attack.

In his last tweet, Warne had paid tribute to the
former Australia cricketer, who died at the age of 74. He had written,
“Sad to hear the news that Rod Marsh has passed. He was a legend of our
great game and an inspiration to so many young boys and girls. Rod cared deeply
about cricket & gave so much-especially to Australia & England players.
Sending lots and lots of love to Ros and the family. RIP mate.”
