Five days have passed and the death of Diego Armando Maradona has gone from being an overwhelming and moving affair of memories and tributes to becoming a police case. The questions about the circumstances in which the 10th died, the care he received in the hours and days before, now monopolize interest, even with an investigation opened by the Trans-Andean Prosecutor’s Office. There is even talk of wrongful death.
The first clue was given by one of the nurses, Dahiana Madrid, who in a report delivered to her company, which took care of Pelusa, claimed to have entered her room at 9.30 a.m. that Wednesday to take her vital signs. The version, however, totally contrasted with the one he handed over to Justice, where he declared that he even “let him sleep” and that it was the nurse who was relieved the last to see Diego.
But his lawyer, Rodolfo Baqué, gave new details that shook everything. “Maradona fell on the Wednesday (of the previous week) before his death. He fell and hit his head, but they didn’t take him to a hospital for an MRI ”, he assured, detailing that the blow was on the right side of the head and that Diego’s main doctor, the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, never sent him for observation.
Diego died practically alone, faced with withdrawal and heart problems. After the operation for the brain hematoma, at the beginning of the month, he was discharged to his home, in the exclusive San Andrés neighborhood. His psychiatrist, Agustina Cosachov, allowed him to be removed from the clinic under strict conditions. “Nurses preferably men with full-time availability and specialized in substance use problems, neurologists and clinicians. At the same time, have the availability to carry out medical studies and an ambulance in case the transfer is considered necessary ”, he demanded, according to the medical report. Only one of the required points was met.
And there come all the doubts. The nurse assures that Maradona hardly had a chemical bath, and that given his bad mood, a drug treatment was very difficult to cope with. That, not counting the constant tachycardia he suffered.
Dr. Luque, who has already been seized in his office and home, assures: “It was difficult, he kicked me out of his house a lot of times. He liked being alone. And then he would call me. What I did was bring him a clinician, a gastroenterologist, an ophthalmologist, I even accompanied him to the dentist. Because if he was not at the side, he would not remove a tooth … But understand that he was a difficult patient and that he was lucid ”.
This Wednesday a toxicological report will be made on Diego’s body, another edge that will determine in what state he died.
The epic legend of the hero has become a detective novel.
