Trial for Maradona's Death Engulfs Seven Health Professionals

The ongoing trial regarding the death of football legend Diego Maradona has revealed significant details about his final hours, with doctors testifying that Maradona showed signs of severe distress prior to his death on November 25, 2020. Medical examiners noted that Maradona’s heart was nearly twice its normal weight, and he had been accumulating fluid in his lungs for at least ten days due to heart failure and liver cirrhosis. His son, Diego Maradona Jr., has publicly accused the medical staff of negligence, stating, 'They killed him. They didn’t take care of him, they did nothing to save him.' This sentiment was echoed by other family members, who are pursuing legal action against those involved in his care at the time of his death. The investigation has led to the charging of seven individuals, including Maradona's personal doctor and a nurse, raising ongoing questions about the quality of medical care he received. As the trial unfolds, conflicting reports and allegations of financial exploitation continue to stir emotions within the football community and beyond.
