Was Diego Maradona's death a case of tragic negligence or cold-blooded murder? Disturbing details emerge as court probes how the Argentine football legend died

Did Maradona’s medical team fail him in his final hours?

Maradona had undergone brain surgery for a subdural hematoma just weeks before his death. Despite his fragile state, he was placed under home care instead of being kept in a hospital where he could receive round-the-clock medical supervision. A damning report from a medical board later concluded that his care was «deficient and reckless,» raising serious concerns over the decisions made by those responsible for his well-being (Source: Indian Express).

Lead prosecutor Patricio Ferrari described Maradona’s final days as taking place inside a «house of horrors.» He reportedly suffered in agony for over 12 hours without receiving proper medical attention—an oversight that could have cost him his life.

Who are the seven accused of playing a role in Maradona’s death?

Seven medical professionals are currently facing trial on charges of culpable homicide, with potential sentences ranging from 8 to 25 years if found guilty. The accused include:

• Leopoldo Luque – Neurosurgeon
• Agustina Cosachov – Psychiatrist
• Carlos Díaz – Psychologist
• Pedro Di Spagna – Medical Clinician
• Nancy Forlini – Home Care Coordinator
• Mariano Perroni – Nursing Coordinator
• Ricardo Almirón – Nurse

Prosecutors argue that this team not only neglected crucial warning signs but also actively contributed to a situation that made Maradona’s death inevitable (Source: El País).
