Following rigid diet, Warne avoided all solid food, a reason which might have put extra strain on his heart. As per a report by National World, Australian medical expert Professor Garry Jennings said such diets have tendency to put pressure on heart. “Mostly, se risks are on top of an underlying heart problem — y don’t come out of blue. I doubt y could cause a heart problem just by mselves. Basically, if your metabolism, your handling of fluids, salt, and or 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,” he said.

Meanwhile, Sydney Morning Herald also reported that Warne h visited a doctor regarding his heart leing up to his demise.
