Staff members help move the body of Shane Warne from Ko Samui Hospital on Ko Samui island, southern Thailand, Sunday, March 6, 2022, to a ferry on the way to Surat Thani province's main hospital for an autopsy. Warne, whose artful and record-breaking spin bowling on the cricket field was matched by his impish allure and often controversial career off the pitch, was remembered by all manner of athletes, actors, prime ministers and rock stars on Saturday following his death from an apparent heart attack.
