It is understood the woman told Thai authorities she knew Warne personally, prompting them to provide her access to pay respects.

Footage shows the woman carrying a small bunch of flowers and approaching the ambulance which was transporting Warne’s body from Koh Samui where he died, via ferry to the mainland.

She is escorted to the ambulance and approaches the driver side window, holding up the flowers in front of her.

The driver then gets out and walks around the sliding side door of the ambulance, opening the door for the woman, who enters, and closing it behind her.

There are concerns about the length of time the woman spent unaccompanied with Warne’s body which is still the subject of an official autopsy.
