| News - South China Morning Post | DOCTORS IGNORED ‘WARNING SIGNS’ BEFORE MARADONA’S DEATH, COURT HEARS | 1 hr ago |
A court in Argentina heard on Tuesday that doctors failed to act on warning signs during Diego Maradona’s home hospitalisation, a claim that could explain the 2020 heart failure and acute pulmonary oedema that took the 60‑year‑old World Cup champion’s life, according to News – South China Morning Post.
Seven healthcare professionals have been on trial since mid‑April for potential negligence that may have contributed to Maradona’s death. In the proceedings, a witness testified that the Argentine legend displayed warning signs that were apparently ignored while he was being monitored at home. The case focuses on whether the medical care provided met the required standard for a patient with Maradona’s serious health conditions.
Maradona died in June 2020 at his home after a two‑week period of declining health. The trial is part of a broader inquiry into the circumstances surrounding his death.
