Argentina’s medical board to rule on Diego Maradona’s death on March 8

Argentina’s public prosecutor’s office will convene a medical board on March 8 to decide whether the late football legend Diego Maradona was given proper treatment before his death, legal sources said on Tuesday, February 23.

Maradona slumped to death after a heart attack on November 25, weeks after undergoing brain surgery on a blood clot. However, investigators are trying to determine whether or not there was negligence in Maradona’s health care before he died.

According to reports from Argentina, nine experts will be called on March 8 including the medical examiners that took part in Maradona’s autopsy. This controversy surrounding his death came to the fore after Maradona’s children accused Leopoldo Luque, the doctor who took care of him of his deteriorating health which led to his death.

Preliminary report has said that Maradona was suffering from liver, kidney, and cardiovascular disorders before his death, having battled cocaine and alcohol addictions during his life.
