This Tuesday some expert details about the death of Diego Armando Maradona were released. The first reports reveal that there was no trace of alcohol or drugs in the body of the former soccer player, who died on November 25.
Yes, several psychotropic drugs were found such as “venlafaxine, quetiapine, levetiracetam and naltrexone”, as indicated by the investigation.
The reports also clarify that the “10” did not die of a sudden death, but had a long agony that could last between 6 and 8 hours.
Maradona died of “acute lung edema secondary to exacerbated chronic heart failure,” but an autopsy also discovered “dilated cardiomyopathy” in his heart.
Such information would reinforce the criminal case opened based on the complaints Matías Morla, the former player's lawyer, for alleged medical negligence.
The days after Maradona's death, the judicial investigation charged Leopoldo Luque, the doctor who operated on Pelusa, with wrongful death.
The nurse who took care of Maradona at his home is also charged.
