Medical coordinator denies responsibility in Maradona death

Football legend Diego Maradona battled cocaine and alcohol addictions before he died. SAN ISIDRO, Argentina: The medical coordinator in charge of Diego Maradona's home treatment denied responsibility for his death when questioned on Monday by Argentine prosecutors, insisting her role was merely"administrative."

"I never had access to the medical history made by the treating doctors," Forlini said in a written statement handed to prosecutors in San Isidro, a source close to the case told AFP. Last week, nurses Dahiana Gisela Madrid, 36, and Ricardo Almiron, 37 - two of the last people to see Maradona alive - and nursing coordinator Mariano Perroni, 40, all denied responsibility and likewise told prosecutors they were following the treating doctors' orders.Forlini said her job was"to organise a 24-hour nursing and therapeutic care-giving service" based on treatment prescribed by Luque and Cosachov.

"I didn't even know the patient or the people around him. My contact was with the carers, occasionally with the family and with the treating doctors," she said. Two of Maradona's children blame Luque for their father's deteriorating condition after the brain operation.
