As tributes continue to pour in from all quarters after Warne’s untimely demise, comments from one of his own old teammates have sparked a huge furore on Twitter.

Speaking on The Today Show, Healy, 57 stated, “An early passing didn’t surprise me for Warnie. He didn’t look after his body that well. He yo-yoed up and down. He didn’t put much sunscreen on. I thought it would have become skin issues for him over time, but not at 52. And he would have been full of beans right to the end, I bet.”

In the aftermath of Ian Healy’s shocking remark on his former teammate’s death, netizens were furious as they lashed out at the former for his comments. 

While some users on Twitter called Healy’s remark on Warne ‘disgraceful’, others felt that being a former teammate of the spin legend, he could have surely been a little more sensitive with his choice of words.
