Shane Warne's Body Arrives In Australia Almost A Week After His Death

MELBOURNE: The charter plane carrying the body of Shane Warne landed in his home city of Melbourne on Thursday evening after an eight-hour flight from Thailand, where the Australian cricketing great died last week at the age of 52. Warne died while on holiday on the Thai island of Koh Samui last Friday. Local authorities said an autopsy showed his death was caused by a suspected heart attack and congenital disease. On Thursday morning, his coffin, wrapped in the Australian flag, was taken from the morgue to Bangkok airport before being loaded onto a private Dassault Falcon 7X jet. The popular former spin-bowler and media personality will be buried at a private funeral, his family said last week. A state memorial service will follow at the 100,000-seater Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on March 30. Agencies
