One of the masseuses who visited Shane Warne in his villa on Koh Samui just hours before his death has revealed he seemed 'fine' and gave no indication of his health issues.

Four Thai masseuses were among the last people to see Warne alive after the Aussie cricket legend's devastating death in Thailand.

Warne was found unresponsive by friends after he didn't come out of his room for dinner, with attempts to revive him unsuccessful.

Thai police later revealed that four masseuses visited the villa in the hours before Warne's death, with the cricket legend receiving a massage from two of the women.

One of those women has since broken her silence, opening up about her experience of Warne.

“Shane was a really lovely man. He was very much at ease and comfortable," the woman called Bovi told The Daily Mail.

“He was very friendly and put us at ease. His massage lasted for an hour and everything was fine.

"He seemed perfectly healthy and gave us a good tip when we finished.

“He seemed fine when we left his room. He said goodbye and that was it, everything was normal.

“We were both so shocked when we found out later that he had died.”

Another of the four women spoke to British tabloid The Sun last week, saying she knocked on Warne's door later in the day but didn't get a response.

The masseuse known as 'Pen' said she was booked in to give Warne a foot rub but he never answered the door.

“Shane was having a massage and the two other girls left before me," Pen told The Sun.

“I had a text saying that I would do his nails and a foot massage when they had finished.

“I think Shane was sleeping in his room the whole time because I didn’t see him while I was giving a nail treatment to his friend.

“I was supposed to go to see Shane after that but when the maid knocked on his door there was no reply.

“There was no sound in the room and they said he was sleeping, so I left.

“When I got home I was told he had died, so I was really sad. I think that he had been dead while I was in the villa.”

Shane Warne's body arrives home in Melbourne

The Daily Mail has since published images taken from CCTV footage showing the masseuses arriving and leaving the villa where Warne was staying.

The four women arrived at 1.53pm and left at 2.58pm.

Warne was discovered by his friends at 5.15pm.

Warne's body arrived home in Melbourne on Thursday night on a flight from Thailand, where the 52-year-old died from a suspected heart attack.

Warne's father Keith and mother Brigitte, holding a single flower, were among several family members to meet the flight.

The Dassault Falcon 7X jet left Thailand's capital Bangkok at 8.25am local time and arrived at Melbourne's Essendon Fields Airport around 8.35pm on Thursday.

The jet taxied to a private hangar where police officers were stationed outside.

Warne's eldest daughter Brooke and son Jackson were at the hangar, as was ex-wife Simone Callahan.
