The autopsy was carried out at the San Fernando Hospital in the north of Buenos Aires on Wednesday between 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. local time.
The findings of the corpse of the deceased bear witness to the first reports that Maradona died of a heart attack. He was 60 years old on October 30.
Acute heart failure, a dilated heart and pulmonary edema are cited as the main causes of death, according to Clarín, the largest oriental newspaper in Argentina.
Authorities also confirmed that there were no signs of a possible crime.

The relatives had a request to the doctors.
Maradona’s family asked the doctors not to bring their cell phones to the autopsy room. According to Clarín, the request was made in anticipation that the body photos would not be disseminated.
Maradona’s health has deteriorated significantly recently as the consequences of an unhealthy lifestyle became apparent.
He recently had two heartbeats and had trouble with liver function.
Three weeks ago, the legendary footballer was taken to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery because he had experienced a hemorrhage between the skull and the brain.
He was released from the hospital on November 11, and Maradona’s family thanked the surgeon who discovered the clot.
According to Clarín, the relatives saw Maradona “very nervous and anxious” during the last days of his life.
He was constantly supervised by a nurse and the family considered transferring him to Cuba, where Maradona had previously been treated in rehab clinics for craving cocaine.

Say goodbye to comrades too
Argentine President Alberto Fernández has declared three days of national mourning in the country.
Maradona will be honored at the Cosa Rosada Presidential Palace in Buenos Aires.
Maradona’s body arrived at the palace this morning, where a private ceremony was planned for his closest family and friends.
The ex-wife Claudia Villafane, their daughters Gianinna and Dalma Maradona arrived a few minutes earlier.
Also in the palace are the ex-wife Verónica Ojeda, son of Diego Fernando and his daughter Jana Maradona and other members of the family circle. The only son, Diego Jr., remains in Italy while he is being treated for COVID-19.
One of the first to say goodbye to his former teammate was Sergio Goycochea, a former goalkeeper for the Argentine team who played in the 1990 World Cup.
They were followed by 1986 world champions Oscar Ruggeri, Sergio Batista, Jorge Burruchaga, Ricardo Giusti, Oscar Garre and Carlos Tapia.
There are also Carlos Tevez and Ramón Abila, the current protagonists of the former club Maradona Boca Juniors.
The team, where one of the best footballers in the world of all time played at the beginning and end of his career, returned to Argentina a few hours ago after the Copa Libertadores match in Brazil.
