On March 12, Beijing time, the latest news from the authoritative media "Xinhua News Agency" said that an Argentine court held a trial on the 11th local time to hear the death case of football legend Diego Maradona, and seven members of his private medical team were charged with manslaughter.

Prosecutor Ferrari said that while Maradona was being treated at home, his medical team was "improvised patchwork" and that medical personnel did not take the necessary measures to prevent the tragedy from happening. Seven medical personnel, including Maradona's personal doctors, Luke and Kosachev, have been charged with manslaughter and may be sentenced to eight to 25 years in prison for misconduct during treatment.

On November 3, 2020, Maradona was found to have a subdural hematoma during an inpatient examination and was quickly discharged after undergoing surgery. However, only 3 weeks after being discharged from the hospital, on November 25, 2020, Maradona died of a sudden cardiac arrest at home at the age of 60.

At that time, the autopsy results released by the Argentine police and prosecutors showed that Maradona died of heart failure, which was a natural death. But this result did not satisfy Maradona's family, whose daughter believed that his father's health had deteriorated after brain surgery on November 3 of that year, and that his personal doctor should be held responsible.

And in 2021, Argentine prosecutors convened a panel of 20 medical experts to investigate Maradona's death and concluded that the treatment of Maradona was full of "flaws and irregularities". In the 12 hours leading up to his death, he himself struggled with severe pain, but did not receive effective and adequate treatment.

One report said Maradona might have survived if he had been taken to the hospital. Fernando Brando, the lawyer for Maradona's daughters, also made this inference: "Maradona's death was related to the negligence of the defendants, which was clearly a murder, and they could have taken Maradona to any emergency room to save his life." ”

If the investigation is true, the premature death of a generation of football kings due to the negligence of amateur medical staff is indeed a sigh and even anger.
