The former Argentina captain was confirmed to have died of a cardiac arrest in November 2020, having had surgery for a subdural haematoma, which is bleeding on the brain. Diego Maradona passed away just two weeks after being released from hospital.
In 2021, a member of the medical board who investigated Maradona’s death concluded that the medical team had acted in an “inappropriate, deficient and reckless manner. The family claim that the Napoli legend was neglected in the care of the medical professionals and they are now standing trial accused of ‘culpable homicide’.
