Shane Warne, Australia cricket legend, died aged 52 on Friday (Mar 4).

“Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived,” Warne’s management confirmed in a statement to the Australian media.

"The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.” the statement read.
