Royal Thai police will not charge a “fan” who entered an ambulance carrying the body of Shane Warne because she did not break the law.

Thai police launched an investigation into why the woman was allowed to spend time alone with the 52-year-old’s remains ahead of his autopsy and hauled her in for questioning.

At a press conference on Monday, they said they have dropped the probe as she ultimately had not broken any rules

The woman, a German ex-pat who lives in Koh Samui, was seen carrying flowers near the van as it sat on the ferry before speaking to a local immigration official.

She then approached the vehicle and spoke to the driver, who got out, allowed her to get in and then shut the doors behind her.
