Maradona Death Investigation to Determine Medical Malpractice | international soccer

According to the Argentine newspaper, the nurse named “Ricardo” declared to the Justice that his shift ended at 6:30 am on Wednesday (day of death) and that, before leaving, he found that Diego Maradona had vital signs and breathing. The health professional said that the former player had rested all night.

Second the preliminary result of the autopsy, Maradona died of “acute, congestive and chronic heart failure”, which generated an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the lung.

From 6:30 am on Wednesday until noon, the responsibility of accompanying Maradona became the responsibility of a nurse, who already gave testimony and said that the last person who had seen Diego alive was his nephew, Johny Espípio. . However, this would have happened on Tuesday, at 11pm.

Thus, there is a contradiction with the initial versions that Maradona had been without assistance for 12 hours. That was what the lawyer Matías Morla had indicated on his social networks. The professional stated that Maradona “did not attract attention” for 12 hours, despite having a medical team available at home, and said the ambulance called to help the star was slow to arrive.

Also according to the investigation by “Clarín” with sources that attend the case, when the forensic team arrived at the house where Diego Maradona was installed, in the city of Tigre, in greater Buenos Aires, the body temperature indicated that the death had occurred. It was around noon, as confirmed in autopsy.

Throughout Thursday night, investigators crossed the testimony with emergency calls made from the house where Maradona was staying and also with images of security cameras that were confiscated, in an attempt to build the sequence of what happened. Progress is expected this Friday.
