Sports Desk: On November 25, 2020, the legendary Argentine footballer Diego Maradona died at the age of 60 in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. The whole football world was saddened by his death. Then the family was informed that the World Cup-winning footballer died due to cardiac arrest. Although four years have passed since the death of this legendary footballer, the haze surrounding his death has not subsided.
Earlier in 2021, Maradona’s family claimed that the world-shaking footballer died due to medical negligence. Then they filed a case in court. As a result, the court started an investigation against the eight doctors and nurses who were in charge of Maradona’s care. The list included two psychiatrists, Dr. Augustina Kosashov and Dr. Leopolda Luke. Later, at the request of their lawyers, the court again started an investigation into the cause of the death of this legendary footler. New information emerged in that investigation report.
The new investigation report shows that Maradona’s cause of death was not cardiac arrest, but that one of the causes of his death was a drug like cocaine. Based on this report, psychiatrist Agustina Kosachov’s lawyer, Vadim Mischanchuk, told the media, “This case has taken a new turn through this report. The stability of this drug in the human body is a few days at most. According to the doctor’s lawyer, Maradona took cocaine shortly before his death.
However, Giannina Maradona, the daughter of Diego Maradona, called this new investigation report false. Protesting this new report, the results of the autopsy report showed that the cause of death of this legendary footballer was pulmonary edema. He said, ‘My father stopped taking cocaine on May 9, 2004. It has also been proven in the autopsy report. On the day his father died, his heart stopped working. Also, on the day of Maradona’s death, his daughter said, “His voice sounded like a robot that day.” Because something was happening in his lungs. Everyone in the world knows that he is a heart patient. Still, no medication was given for the heart disease, and the doctors did not even look at his lungs. Everyone was busy with cleaning the room; everyone was focused on work like emptying the account.’ Also, about the accused of murdering this legendary footballer, his daughter added, ‘They are here today because they did not do their job properly. Now they are doing this again to avoid going to jail. I am not afraid of anything. I must kill them if necessary. I cannot be silenced before that.
Meanwhile, after the death of a legendary footballer, he was buried next to his parents in the family cemetery in the city of San Mihuel, about 50 kilometers northwest of the Argentine capital. But last Thursday, according to local media sources, some of Maradona’s fans petitioned a court to have the World Cup-winning footballer reburied in Argentina’s capital from his previous burial site. The letter submitted to the court said, ‘Maradona’s tomb is where it is now. From there, the safest place in the in the capital is a cemetery. So that all the people of the world and the citizens of Argentina can pay tribute to this greatest footballer. He is an inspiration for Argentina.
