The seven defendants for the death of Diego Armando Maradona appeared this Monday before the courts of the Buenos Aires town of San Isidro , in the case investigating the death of the soccer star last 25 November.
It’s about the neurosurgeon or Leopoldo Luque , the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, psychologist Carlos Díaz, doctor who coordinated home care Nancy Forlini, coordinator of nurses Mariano Perroni and nurses Ricardo Omar Almirón and Dahiana Gisela Madrid.
This formal procedure, ordered by the Prosecutor’s Office in charge of the investigation, aims to obtain the fingerprints of those involved , as well as collect the possible existence of a criminal record.
After leaving the courts, the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque only responded ironically to a journalist who accused his lawyer of assaulting presumably a local television cameraman.
“I am not a lawyer, otherwise I would defend you. You are pushing me, ”settled Luque, who declined to make further statements to reporters gathered in the area.
Maradona passed away at 60 years and the autopsy on the body of the former captain and former Argentine national team determined that he died as a result of “acute lung edema secondary to exacerbated chronic heart failure. ”
He also discovered a“ dilated cardiomyopathy ”in his heart.
The world champion in Mexico 1986 suffered from alcohol addiction problems , had been admitted to a clinic in La Plata on November 2, 2020 due to anemia and dehydration and a day later he was transferred to a sanatorium in the Buenos Aires town of Olivos, where he was and operated on for a subdural hematoma by a team led by Luque.
The 11 was discharged from hospital in November and moved to a house in a private neighborhood on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, where he died on 25 November.
