Fresh mystery has emerged over Shane Warne’s death after an investigating police officer claimed he was ‘ordered’ to remove a ‘sex item’ from the scene.
Australian cricket legend Warne died in March 2022 at the age of 52 of a heart attack after being found unresponsive in his villa on the Thai island of Koh Samui.
Thailand police ruled out foul play in the shock death of the sporting icon and an autopsy provided by the Surat Thani Hospital found the ‘King of Spin’ died of natural causes.
However, new claims have emerged from a senior police officer at the scene who says he was ‘ordered’ to remove a bottle of pills used in erective dysfunction treatments.
The drug in question, Kamagra, has the same active ingredient used in Viagra but is not regulated in most countries.
‘We were ordered by our seniors to get rid of the bottle,’ the police officer, who asked to remain anonymous, told the Daily Mail.
‘These orders were coming from up high, and I think senior officials from Australia were also involved because they did not want their national figure to have an ending like this.
‘So, the official report came out as that he suffered a heart attack and no other details as to what could have caused it.
‘No one will come out to confirm the Kamagra because it remains a sensitive subject. There were lots of powerful invisible hands behind all this.
‘It was a bottle, but we don’t know how much he took. There was also a puddle of vomit and blood at the scene, but we cleared the Kamagra as we were told to.’
Manufactured in India, Kamagra is illegal in Thailand but widely sold in pharmacies and at roadside stalls.
It is said to have dangerous side effects for those suffering from heart problems.
A medical source told the Daily Mail: ‘Kamagra is not something a man with congenital heart weakness should be taking.’
Warne is considered one of the greatest cricketers in history, having taken 708 Test wickets, the second most of all time.
He helped Australia win the World Cup in 1999 and starred in several Ashes wins over England, though he was on the losing side in the iconic 2005 series.
In 2000, he was named one of the five Wisden cricketers of the century, alongside Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Jack Hobbs and Sir Viv Richards.
Warne was married to Simone Callahan for ten years and was also engaged to British model Liz Hurley, but the relationship ended before they were married.
A larger-than-life character, Warne worked as a popular commentator and pundit following his retirement from cricket and also held various coaching roles at T20 franchises.
