Buenos Aires – Died at age 60 Diego Armando Maradona. This was reported by the site of the Argentine newspaper El Clarins, according to which the Pibe de Oro suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest in Tigre’s house at around 12 (16 in Italy), near Buenos Aires. The resuscitation attempts made by the medical staff who attended him 24 hours a day at the home where he was in rehabilitation after head surgery, which was necessary to remove a subdural edema three weeks ago, were useless. Useless was the sudden intervention of the ambulances that arrived when the former Pibe de Oro was already dead.

Maradona was discharged on November 11 after the good response to the operation, but the medical personnel who operated on him had warned about the delicate condition of the patient due to a general clinical picture defined as “complex”.

Argentina has proclaimed three days of national mourning.
