On November 25, 2020, Diego Maradona, 60, left us a cardiopulmonary crisis in his private residence. His death had provoked the sadness of millions of people around the world. The legend, often qualified, best player of all time had gone forever.
Five years later, it is time to clarify the circumstances of the death of El Pibe de Oro.

The seven practitioners who were alongside Diego Maradona compares for “Homicide with possible Dol”.
Maradona's death caused by medical negligence?
During the trial opened last Tuesday, the first doctors who arrived at the death of Maradona indicated that the room where the Argentinian footballer died was “very dirty” and “very in disorder” while a medical place should be impeccable: ” The house was very dirty, very disorderly, especially the room, there was no type of order or cleanliness, even basic, to be able to welcome a person who had just been operated ”.
The chronology of Diego Maradona's death has also turned out to be doubtful. Campbell, a neighbor of the player and doctor had arrived at the scene at 12:26 pm after the nursing staff who had discovered the lifeless body of Maradona called him. He indicates that when he arrived on the spot, he found the nurse attempting a cardiac massage but according to him there was already nothing to do because ” There were no more vital signs for a long time ” Before he indicates that Maradona was dead ” For more than an hour or two, surely ”.
While the trial follows its short, the seven health professionals who were in charge of Diego Maradona risk up to 25 years in prison if medical negligence is proven.
