MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The body of cricket great Shane Warne is back in Australia. His coffin was put into an ambulance at the Thai Police Forensic Institute and driven to an international airport just before dawn. A private jet flew Warne’s body back to his hometown of Melbourne. It landed at Essendon airport about 10 hours later. Warne was widely regarded as one of the top cricket players of all time. He died last Friday while on vacation with friends on Samui Island in southern Thailand. An autopsy report said the 52-year-old Warne died of a suspected heart attack.
