A trial in Argentina is examining whether seven healthcare professionals may have been negligent in the lead-up to Diego Maradona’s death in 2020. Witness testimony described “warning signs” during the period when Maradona is said to have been cared for at home after discharge from hospital.
According to the reports, the court hears that his health deteriorates over the days that follow discharge. The prosecution’s case, as reflected in testimony covered by outlets, centers on alleged failure to respond appropriately to symptoms as his condition worsened.
Both sources link the alleged oversight to the circumstances surrounding Maradona’s final days. They note that Maradona dies from heart failure and acute pulmonary oedema, a condition involving fluid accumulation in the lungs. The accounts emphasize the timing—warning signs present after discharge—and the medical context, while the outlets focus on different aspects of the court testimony and the progression of his condition.
