Forensic Experts Testify Maradona's Death Was Preventable and Marked by Agony

Court hears that Diego Maradona suffered prolonged agony before his death, with medical oversights and unsuitable home care cited as key failures.

Forensic experts testified that Diego Maradona suffered at least 12 hours of agony before his death in November 2020, with symptoms that should have been detected days earlier.
The autopsy revealed Maradona's heart was severely compromised, weighing nearly twice as much as normal and covered in fat and blood clots, indicating prolonged suffering.
Medical professionals on trial are accused of failing to provide adequate care, with prosecutors alleging negligence and abandonment during his home recovery.
The house where Maradona was recovering was deemed unsuitable for home hospitalization, raising questions about his discharge from the hospital.
If convicted of manslaughter, the seven defendants, including Maradona's personal physician and psychiatrist, face prison sentences ranging from 8 to 25 years.
