Maradona: new paternity test is needed, stop body cremation – Football



[ad_1]

Diego Armando Maradona’s body cannot be cremated at the moment because his body is used to perform a paternity test. This was decided by a court in Argentina, according to Clarín. The champion, who died last month at age 60 from cardiac arrest, had two daughters from his marriage to Claudia Villafane and has recognized three other children over the years (Diego Jr., Jana and Diego Fernando).

After his death, Magalí Gil, 25, requested a DNA test. The young woman – who has been adopted – declares that two years ago her biological mother revealed to her that her real father could be Maradona.

According to the lawyer for the Argentine champion, DNA samples already exist and therefore it is not necessary to exhume the body buried in a private cemetery near Buenos Aires. On November 30, another court had stopped cremation until all necessary evidence had been obtained on the causes of death.
