"The heart failure caused him to suffer acute pulmonary oedema, when fluid builds up in the lungs, the preliminary autopsy confirmed. A panel of medical experts, asked by prosecutors to investigate Maradona's medical team, said the treatment he received at his home was 'deficient and reckless'."
"Investigators classified the case as culpable homicide, a crime similar to involuntary manslaughter, because they said the accused were aware of the seriousness of Maradona's health condition but did not take the necessary measures to save him."
A retrial regarding Diego Maradona's death is set to begin, following a previous trial's collapse due to unauthorized filming. Seven members of his medical team face homicide charges for allegedly failing to provide adequate care. Investigators classified the case as culpable homicide, indicating awareness of Maradona's serious health condition. A medical panel deemed the treatment he received as deficient, suggesting he would have had a better chance of survival in a proper facility. The trial will include around 100 witnesses and is expected to last until July.
