The body of spin king Shane Warne will be flown home from Bangkok as early as tomorrow, after he suffered a heart attack in Koh Samui on Friday night.

Friends, family and Australians from all stripes have paid tribute to the beloved former cricketer.

His parents, Keith and Brigitte Warne, said their son’s death was a tragedy they would never come to terms with, while his three adult children told of their shock at his sudden loss.

But his legacy as a cricketer - one of Australia’s finest - will live on.

Today on Please Explain, Bianca Hall is joined by South East Asia correspondent, Chris Barrett, who is in Bangkok.
