Former Australian legendary leg-spinner Shane Warne passed away of a suspected heart attack at the age of 52 on Friday. He was on a vacation in Thailand where he was found unresponsive on the floor.

The medical staff tried their best to revive Warne but their efforts went in vain. His management company broke the news to the world on Friday, putting a dampener on everyone’s weekend.

Although Warne had a tumultuous relationship with his ex-wife, he had always ensured that his kids get a chance to live a good life. He is survived by three children – Summer, Brooke, and Jackson.

Following their father’s demise, there have no been official comments made but earlier in an interview with Channel 7, Jackson had opened up about his relationship with his dad.

My life has not turned out the way I want. Whenever I go somewhere, people identify me as Shane Warne’s son. I just want to be Jackson,” Jackson told.

Jackson, in an earlier conversation with Men’s Health Australia, had also said that despite a rocky life, he is proud of his dad and for all that he has done with his kids.

I want to see dad only as dad. I don’t want to compare them with any other parents. I think he has done a great job with me and my sisters and I am proud of him. I had to go through a lot of identity crisis because of him, but at the end of the day he’s my dad and I’m proud of him,” Jackson added.

Warne’s former teammates and opponents from Adam Gilchrist to Sachin Tendulkar also paid tribute to the legend and sent their condolences to the leg-spinner’s family.
