The police said, Warne was staying in a villa with his four friends, and when one of the group tried to wake Shane for food at around 5pm local time he was found to be unresponsive.
Reports say that Warne's manager Andrew Neophitou performed CPR on him for around 20 minutes before an ambulance arrived.

'In the villa, the people were sleeping in separate rooms. They were sleeping from afternoon to evening, until about 5pm.
'At 5pm somebody came to call out this person for dinner but the deceased did not respond so they called three other friends to perform CPR for 20 minutes. They waited for the ambulance to come.
'The doctor announced the death of the person at 6:53pm. Police went and checked the room and there was no sign of intrusion or possessions being searched through. The body was sent for an autopsy at Koh Samui Hospital.'
