Medical report uncovers third drug found with Shane Warne

The medical report of Shane Warne’s death has come to light for the first time, revealing the truth behind claims made about his final hours.

The medical report of Shane Warne’s death has come to light for the first time three years after the cricket icon’s death.

In a week of swirling reports about the much-loved cricket character, the medical report uncovered by The Sun this week shows paramedics recorded that a third drug was found with Warne when he died at the age of 52.

The “Spin King” was enjoying a “lads holiday” with friends at the paradise island of Koh Samui in Thailand and was staying in a $4000-a-night villa.

The father of three’s death rocked Australia on March 4, 2022.

Thailand police quickly ruled out foul play.

His death certificate revealed that the Test great suffered coronary artery atherosclerosis leading to a heart attack.

The newly-uncovered medical report comes days after a weekend news report claimed a non-TGA-approved erectile dysfunction medication was secretly removed from Warne’s luxury villa by a senior policeman on the day he died.

An unnamed policeman reportedly told The Daily Mail that at the urging of senior officials, he had removed a bottle of pills identified as Kamagra.

The Indian-made drug is listed to include sildenafil citrate — the same active ingredient used in Viagra.

Kamagra is illegal in Thailand, but the unregulated drug is readily available over the counter in pharmacies for as little as $15 per sachet.

News.com.au on Monday first reported Warne’s use of Viagra was an open secret.

Warne was taking Viagra a decade before his death and used it during his high-profile relationship with British actor Liz Hurley.

The Sun now reports paramedics discovered two types of Viagra - and a third drug which improves longevity in the bedroom after his death.

The paramedics’ discoveries were noted by medics who transported Warne to Thailand International Hospital on Koh Samui in the days after his death.

On the report, three drugs were listed under the heading “medicine”.

These included Sildenafil, sold under the brand name Viagra; Kamagra, a knock off Viagra which comes in jelly sachets; and Dapoxetine, a tablet which prevents premature ejaculation.

It’s not clear if Warne took the sex boosting drugs before his death.

The Victorian cult hero was known to have been managing heart issues and suffered from congenital heart weakness in the years leading up to his death. He was reported to have been experiencing chest pains and asthma symptoms before he arrived at Koh Samui.

It has been speculated that a potential cocktail of blood pumping sex drugs — which come with a cautionary warning for heart-condition patients — could have been a contributing factor in the heart attack he is suspected to have suffered.

The new medical report provides another twist in the startling claims that have been made just weeks after Warne’s family commemorated the date that marked three years since the 708-Test-wicket taker’s death.

It emerged on Sunday the unnamed policeman that reportedly spoke with The Daily Mail also claimed senior Australian figures were involved in a “cover up” to remove the Kamagra medication from the list of evidence.

“We were ordered by our seniors to get rid of the bottle. These orders were coming from up high, and I think senior officials from Australia were also involved because they did not want their national figure to have an ending like this,” the policeman reportedly told British outlet.

“So, the official report came out as that he suffered a heart attack and no other details as to what could have caused it. No one will come out to confirm the Kamagra because it remains a sensitive subject. There were lots of powerful invisible hands behind all this.”

The same officer reportedly added: “It was a bottle, but we don’t know how much he took. There was also a puddle of vomit and blood at the scene, but we cleared the Kamagra as we were told to.”

A post-mortem conducted by Thai authorities against his family’s wishes found Warne had died of “a suspected heart attack from natural causes”.

Whether the anonymous Thai policeman’s revelations throw into question statements made by the last two people to see Warne alive on the day he died, two Thai masseuses, is unclear.

The masseuses informed police investigating Warne’s death that their paid services were “just massage”. No further action was taken.

It was a third masseuse who arrived later at Warne’s villa that day to give the treatment-loving Warne a foot massage that raised the bell about Warne’s medical emergency.

According to the medical report obtained by The Sun, friends then found Warne unconscious on his bed 5.40pm.

Paramedics arrived at 6pm and began CPR ten minutes later.

When he arrived at hospital doctors intubated the star and pumped him with adrenaline and sodium bicarbonate in a bid to bring him round.

On the hospital gurney, tests revealed the oxygen content in Warne’s blood had plummeted to 40 per cent, according to the report.

In total, medics tried to resuscitate the cricketer for 43 minutes before he was officially pronounced dead at 6.53pm.

Speaking at the time of Warne’s death Dr Dulyakit Wittayachanyapong, who oversaw the bid to save the former cricketer’s life, told Sun Online: “When he arrived at hospital his face was green and pale, he had black blood in his nose and mouth, which was unusual.

“There was no sign of life.”

The paramedics that treated Warne have previously spoken out in public, confirming CPR was administered at the scene.

Paramedic Anuch Han-iam told The Sun in 2022 one of the men in the room with Warne had been attempting to provide CPR before the paramedic arrived and took over.

“They were desperate. I think one was crying. They were really stressed and panicked,” the paramedic said.

“They kept trying to wake him and I heard someone saying, ‘come on, Shane. Come on, Shane’.

“I could see they were all shocked and I just tried to concentrate and do my best.”

Anuch said the room was clean and there were no signs of partying such as beer or cigarettes.

“I did my best for him and gave all my energy,” he said.

“I’m so sorry that I couldn’t help him.”

The chief of the local rescue emergency response unit also told Thai media outlets paramedics had arrived five minutes after they received a phone call.

“The person was unconscious and had a weak pulse, so we tried CPR and called the ambulance,” team chief Phet Boonrak said.

“His friends were so shocked. They said they had found him unconscious on the bed and moved him to the floor to attempt CPR.

“In the room, there was vomit on the floor but no sign of injuries.”

According to the Australian government health site HealthDirect, Viagra, which contains Sildenafil, the same drug purportedly in Kamagra, may not be safe for people with a history of stroke or heart disease. It can also interact with blood pressure medicines and nitrates, which might be used in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
