Details have revealed how Diego Maradona suffered 12 hours of pain in a dark room, breathing after his heart swelled, and after years of use of coc@ine, he breathed twice as much.
Seven medical professionals are on trial for murder after the 1986 World Cup champion died in 2020 when he was 60 years old. They denied the charges.
Forensic expert Carlos Mauricio Casinelli showed photos of brain clots, which were “a sign of pain” and claimed that his heart weighed 503 grams – more than just football.
Due to acute pulmonary edema caused by his heart failure, four and a half liters of fluid accumulated in his organs.
Argentine newspaper Clarin provides horrific details that appear at the trial, and Casinelli claims his torture is easily discovered within days.
“The heart is completely covered with fat and blood clots, which shows pain,” he said. ‘This is a patient who collected water for a few days; that’s not keen.
‘This is foreseeable. Any doctor who examines the patient will find this.
“The water in his abdomen, pleura and heart is not normal. It won’t form in one day or an hour. It has been formed for several days. There is no exact time. It may be from the moment he was expelled from the hospital until his death.
“That may take at least 10 days, given cirrhosis and myocarditis.”
Maradona has been recovering from surgery for a cerebral blood clot, which he did earlier in November. Two weeks later, Argentina and the football community fell into mourning.
Casinelli added: “It was a dark partitioned room with a bed and portable toilet in the middle.
“It doesn’t seem like a suitable place for home hospitalization that we learned later.”
Forensic doctor Federico Corasaniti supports Maradona’s gradual death.
He believes Maradona’s condition is too bad because his lung pressure will bring sound to others.
“From my experience with generalized edema, he must have had difficulties in breathing and exchanging gases, and his lung sounds only by bringing his face closer to the sound,” he said.
“I don’t think it was a sudden incident as a doctor.”
Maradona’s family accused of negligence, cover-up and derogatory comments, overseeing his care – calling him a “mafia.”
He has struggled with drug use, obesity and alcoholism for decades, reportedly approaching death in 2000 and 2004.
But the prosecutor suspected – not because of his doctor’s negligence – that his death could be avoided.
Seven of the eight medical professionals, including Maradona’s brain surgeon, psychiatrist and nurse, are undergoing a charge of homicide, a crime roughly equivalent to involuntary homicide.
They deny wrongdoing but may face up to 25 years in prison.
Dalma Maradona, the eldest daughter of the legend, shared a video that contained audio from her claim to prove that her father was a serious violation in her care. She revealed that her mother was worried about the “mafia” who “controlled everything”.
“My mother was worried because she was scared,” she said in the Angel Response show on Bondy Live.
‘Fear of the mafia, the man who controls everything has money and strength. But I don’t care. I know the people I’m going to deal with, but I can’t keep silent. We need people to know the truth. My mom kept telling me “Shut up, say nothing, I’m scared” but I can’t. I owe him.
Dalma reportedly claimed that the “assassin mafia” caused the death of his father. She claimed there was a conversation about cover-up and professional negligence, and there were some recordings that demonstrated the lack of medical care.
Maradona won the World Cup with Argentina in 1986, defeating England with the infamous “Hand of God” goal in the quarterfinals, while another was later chosen as “the goal of the century”.
