In March 2022, when two young Thai masseuses entered Shane Warne’s hotel room on Koh Samui island, they had no idea they would be the last to see the legendary Australian cricketer alive.
The events that unfolded in the hours following their visit remain shrouded in mystery, with new revelations only adding more complexity to the story.
A Relaxed Encounter Turns Tragic
Bovi, one of the masseuses, recalls her time with Warne vividly. At just 27 years old, she remembers how relaxed the cricketer seemed as he stripped down for a back rub in the privacy of his villa.
“Shane was a really lovely man,” Bovi said. “He was at ease, and everything felt normal.”
Little did she know that only hours later, Warne would be found unresponsive, lying on the floor of his villa.
Around 5:15 p.m. on March 4, after the girls had left, Warne’s friend found him unconscious.
Despite the best efforts of paramedics, he was pronounced dead just under two hours later at 6:53 p.m., at the age of 52.
While his death seemed like the tragic result of a heart attack linked to a pre-existing condition, new details have surfaced that suggest there might be more to the story.
The Controversial Discovery: A Bottle of Kamagra
This week, a whistleblower from the Thai police made a startling revelation: officers had removed a crucial piece of evidence from the scene of Warne’s death.
A bottle of Kamagra, a potent and illegal sex drug containing sildenafil (similar to Viagra), was allegedly taken from the villa.
This drug, known to cause cardiovascular issues, could have played a role in Warne’s untimely demise.
According to the anonymous officer, higher-ups instructed them to dispose of the bottle.
The officer even hinted that Australian authorities might have been involved in suppressing this information to protect the image of one of the country’s most beloved sports figures.
The Australian government has yet to comment on these allegations.
The Shutdown of Lana Health Massage and Its Mysterious Past
Adding to the intrigue, Lana Health Massage, the parlour that sent the masseuses to Warne’s villa, has since closed its doors.
The business has been refurbished and replaced by a new enterprise, though the details remain murky.
The new establishment offered massages with a range of services, some of which seemed far from professional.
When asked about the past, a young woman working there grew visibly anxious, denying any knowledge of the previous operation.
It appears that the parlour, and the two masseuses who visited Warne, may hold more secrets than they are willing to share.
Warne’s Last Few Months Before His Death
The events leading up to Warne’s tragic passing began months before his death. After the conclusion of the Ashes series in January 2022, Warne had planned a three-month break, during which he was trying to get into better shape.
On February 28, he shared an Instagram post showing himself topless and excited about his fitness journey.
Just days before his death, Warne had completed a 14-day liquid-only diet to slim down.
By March 3, Warne had arrived in Koh Samui for what was supposed to be a relaxing holiday with friends.
He stayed at the luxurious Samujana Villas, a high-end resort that was also a filming location for the popular series The White Lotus.
Warne seemed to be in good spirits, posting a picture of the villa’s infinity pool and sharing a light-hearted message with his followers.
The Tragic Irony: The Final Tweet
On the morning of March 4, Warne tweeted his condolences after hearing of the death of his fellow Australian cricketer, Rod Marsh, who had passed away from a heart attack.
At that moment, Warne himself was just hours away from his own tragic fate.
Little did his followers know that while they were receiving his heartfelt message, Warne was already nearing the end of his life.
A Day Like Any Other Turns Into Tragedy
That afternoon, Warne visited a local tailor and was in high spirits, picking out new clothes and catching up with the tailor he had known for years. By 2:19 p.m., CCTV footage showed Warne returning to his villa with his new purchases.
Later, four girls from Lana Health Massage arrived at the villa to give massages.
They left at 2:58 p.m., and Bovi described the encounter as being friendly and entirely normal.
Two of the girls, Bovi and her colleague Plu Gun, attended to Warne in his room.
A Grim Discovery and Medical Reports
As the evening progressed, Warne’s friends became concerned when he didn’t answer the door for a scheduled foot treatment.
When they entered his room, they found him unconscious, with blood and vomit on the carpet.
Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful, and he was rushed to the hospital, where he was declared dead at 6:53 p.m.
The autopsy concluded that Warne died from a heart attack caused by a congenital heart condition.
However, a subsequent medical report revealed that three types of sexual-enhancement drugs, including Kamagra, Viagra, and Dapoxetine, were found in Warne’s room.
While it’s unclear whether these drugs contributed to his death, the discovery has raised questions about the role they might have played.
A Life of Extremes
Warne’s life was defined by extremes, both on and off the field.
As one of cricket’s greatest players, he took a record 708 Test wickets and reinvented the art of leg spin.
Off the field, he was known for his wild lifestyle, which included heavy drinking, smoking, gambling, and a series of high-profile relationships.
Friends, like Piers Morgan, have described him as someone who packed more fun into his 52 years than most people do in a lifetime.
While the full truth of Warne’s final hours may never be known, what remains undeniable is his extraordinary legacy in the world of cricket.
