В цифрах
On the 38th day of the trial regarding Diego Maradona's death in Argentina, a psychiatrist and a pathologist stated that Maradona suffered from alcohol withdrawal syndrome and should have been cared for in a rehabilitation center, not at home. Experts noted that the home care amounted merely to monitoring and failed to address Maradona's post-neurosurgical condition.
The trial covers the process leading to Maradona's death on November 25, 2020, at a house in Tigre from a heart attack and pulmonary edema. Seven healthcare professionals on trial (a doctor, a psychiatrist, a psychologist, and nurses) face possible culpable homicide charges and risk up to 25 years in prison if convicted. A 20-member medical board formed in 2021 had determined that Maradona was "left to his fate" and that signs of death were neglected.
