Shane Warne had 'seen a doctor about his heart' before his sudden death in Koh Samui, Thai Police say - ABC News
OK, Guys, if you had serious illness - would you travel to a "third world" country? Having experienced the health system in some of these countries, I would not under any circumstances. We have one of the best health systems in the world but it is now in decline but still way better that the vast majority of countries. Feel very sad for Warnie (may he RIP) and his family.
Australian cricket great Shane Warne had experienced chest pains prior to his death in Thailand and had a history of asthma and some heart issues, according to Thai Police.
