Diego Maradona's doctors could be charged with manslaughter as a medical report highlights the Napoli legend did not receive proper medical care.
Maradona died from a heart attack on November 25, 2020 and had had brain surgery to remove a blood clot three weeks earlier.
A medical report underwent by a commission named by the Argentinean legal authorities highlights the death of the former Napoli and Barcelona striker could have been avoided, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The medical report confirms Maradona died due to pre-existing heart disease but concludes that 'a general negligence in the treatment and care of the patient impacted his death.'
It also highlights a situation 'out of control' inside Maradona's house in Tigre with 'a total lack of the minimum equipment required and the inadequacy of the arranged accommodation.'
The report also denounces 'lack of medical care in the last days of Maradona's life.'
The report seems to reveal Maradona's doctors were not aware of his heart diseases, pulmonary oedema and acute cirrhosis, given that the 1986 World Cup winner was never subjected to regular examinations.
There are currently seven people under investigation: Maradona's personal doctor Leopoldo Luque, his psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, his psychologist Carlos Daniel Diaz and four nurses.
