A new medical expertise establishes that Diego Maradona died after a “short-term” agonizing picture, which could have been caused by an external agent.
According to the report, the soccer star died on November 25, 2020 from “cardiorespiratory arrest secondary to acute lung edema caused by acute left ventricular failure.”
It was “a short-term agonizing condition, estimated to last in minutes or at most a few hours.”
The conclusions were presented by the forensic expert Pablo Ferrari, expert official of the Buenos Aires Supreme Court in the expert advice of San Isidro.
Were requested by the lawyer of the accused Leopoldo Luque, Julio Ribas; and of those also involved, Agustina Cosachov, Vadim Mischanchuk.
The first and only report that there was on Maradona’s death so far was that of the Medical Board prepared by the Buenos Aires scientific police, which had indicated heart failure with agony of up to 12 hours and that is why they had concluded that his death had been foreseeable and that the medical actions were “deficient, inefficient and indifferent.”
Based on this, the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque and the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov along with six other people are accused and with a trial to begin on June 4 for simple homicide due to possible intent. That is, they knew that Maradona could die and they did nothing to prevent it.

According to the study by forensic scientist Ferrari presented before the Oral Criminal Court 3 of San Isidro, Maradona had an “acute ventricular arrhythmia of organic origin or the external action of an element other than a natural one, and the presence of a toxic substance unrelated to therapeutic drugs could not be ruled out.”
Maradona died at the age of 60 on November 25, 2020 and the autopsy determined that his death occurred as a result of “acute lung edema secondary to exacerbated chronic heart failure.” And it was also discovered that he had “dilated cardiomyopathy.”
