Famous Australian sniper Shane Warren was bade farewell by his family, celebrities and fans in his hometown of Melbourne where his last rites were performed on Sunday.
According to Reuters, Shane Warren, 52, considered one of the most brilliant and talented players in the world of cricket, died two weeks ago on a Thai island where he was on holiday.
Thai authorities have released a postmortem report stating that the former Australian magician Sniper's death was natural and that there was no other evidence to support his family's acceptance of the report.
Shane Warren's funeral was attended by 80 people, including former Australian Test cricketers Mark Taylor, Alan Border, Michael Clarke and former England captain Michael Vaughan.
Shane Warren's former colleagues Mark Waugh, Ian Haley, Maru Hughes and Glenn McGrath also attended the private service.
The coffin was brought to Melbourne's St. Calda Football Club, where he was paid tribute by former teammates and cricketers.
Shane Warren's close friend, TV presenter Eddie Magori, said, "For Warren, he was a great person."
Shane Warne was the first bowler in the history of cricket to take 700 wickets, a record later broken by Sri Lanka's Murali Dharan.
