Diego Maradona, pictured in 2019, is an idol to millions of Argentines after he inspired the national team to World Cup triumph in 1986. SAN ISIDRO, Argentina: A lawyer for a nurse under investigation in the death of Argentine football great Diego Maradona said Wednesday that doctors killed him through negligence.
Baque insisted it was the doctors treating Maradona while he recovered from the brain operation, not his client, who were to blame for the soccer legend's death.He said Maradona was being treated for heart trouble but at the same time was on psychiatric medication that sped up his heart rate. A panel of 20 medical experts convened by Argentina's public prosecutor said last month that Maradona's treatment was rife with"deficiencies and irregularities" and the medical team had left his survival"to fate."
Other medical staff members involved in caring for Maradona will be questioned by prosecutors over the next two weeks.
