KOH SAMUI, Thailand (Reuters) -An autopsy showed the death last week of Australian cricket great Shane Warne on an island in Thailand was due to natural causes, the Thai police said on Monday.

Warne's family had accepted the finding and his body would be transferred to Australian consular officials for return to the family, a deputy police spokesman said.
