A year ago, Diego Maradona’s death shocked the entire football world. Now the death of the football legend is being investigated – and his lawyer is making serious allegations.
Tiger. Less than a year after the death of the former world-class footballer Diego Maradona († 60), his former lawyer spoke up and accused the doctors treating them of serious errors.
For the lawyer Matias Morla, the treatment of his deceased client was completely wrong. “Mistakes were made, they pumped the poor guy full and pumped up the poor guy until his heart exploded,” Morla told Argentine reporters. Morla had previously given his testimony to the public prosecutor’s office in San Isidro on the death of his client.
The death of Diego Maradona
Diego Armando Maradona died on November 25, 2020 at the age of 60 after a heart attack. The 1986 world champions had previously removed a blood clot in the head during a craniotomy. Maradona also suffered from kidney and liver problems, among other things. He also came into contact with drugs again and again.
The medical treatment of the famous 91-time Argentine international was “very bad, that’s why he died,” said Moria. A seven-person medical team took care of Maradona in the world star’s private home. They too have already been asked about the matter surrounding Maradona’s death.
Maradona with a “robot-like voice”
Morla reported that his client’s voice on the last visit before his death was “strange”, “robotic” and “very high”. Morla called the family’s decision not to have him treated in a hospital “crazy”. The daughters had “given up” him.
