Shane leaves behind three children, daughter Brooke, 24, son Jackson, 22, and daughter Summer, 21, who he shared with ex-wife Simone Callahan.
Warne, who had been health fasting, died from a suspected heart attack while holidaying with friends on the Thai island of Koh Samui on March 4.
It is now believed that Covid-19 may have played a part in Warne’s death after he contracted the virus twice within months, his pre-existing asthma problem and smoking habit likely playing a role in his eventual death.

The Heart Foundation’s chief medical advisor Professor Garry Jennings highlighted the risk the heart could be put under extra strain by very low calorie diets under some conditions.
‘Mostly, these risks are on top of an underlying heart problem, they don’t come out of the blue. I doubt they could cause a heart problem just by themselves,’ Professor Jennings told The Sydney Morning Herald.
‘Basically, if your metabolism, your handling of fluids, salt and other electrolytes gets completely out of whack, if you have a small heart attack, you’re more likely for that to turn into something serious with a rhythm disorder.’
Warne’s long-time manager Erskine revealed that Warne had gone to extreme lengths to lose weight, including liquid-only diets.
‘It was a bit all or nothing. It was either white buns with butter and lasagne stuffed in the middle, or he would be having black and green juices,’ he said.
Cricket Australia doctor, Dr. Peter Brukner, said it was likely Warne’s lifestyle may have contributed to possible heart problems.
‘Warney, if he had heart disease, which sounds like he did, you know, that didn’t happen overnight in Thailand. It’s been happening for 20, 30 years from smoking, poor diet, etc, etc,’ he told Triple M Breakfast with Basil and Xav on Wednesday.
A state funeral for the sporting icon will be held on March 30 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with as many fans as possible allowed to attend.

Warne also received a mega book deal arising from a phone call he received from his agent in his 2018 autobiography ‘No Spin’.
‘Michael called with an offer of 150,000 pounds from Hampshire, plus car, house and flights,’ he wrote. ‘Then there was a radio deal. Six shows at 500 pounds a pop.
‘There was an agreement with The Times for 10 columns at 12,000 pounds each and a 200,000 pound book deal to tell my story so far with Hodder and Stoughtoun. $500,000 pounds in one phone call!’ He had built a $50million empire up until his untimely death at a Thai villa last Friday.
