Friends and family of sporting legend Shane Warne are still processing the sudden demise of one of cricket's biggest superstars, particularly his ex-wife and three children, who are in complete shock with his death because of a fatal heart attack.
Warne (pictured in 2002) had just completed a 14-day extreme liquid diet in an attempt to slim down before he tragically died of a suspected heart attack while holidaying in Thailand last Friday.
The ex-Australian cricket captain choked up and fought back tears as he recalled his early memories of Warne when Ponting was a 15-year-old rising through the ranks for Tasmania.
Dr Norman Swan has warned of the risks of extreme liquid or reduced calorie diets such as one Shane Warne did, saying they can cause serious problems for those who already have heart issues.
Two days after the Australian cricketing legend suffered a suspected fatal heart attack in his luxury hotel room, his children are said to be still reeling from the news.
