Without care.Argentina is surprised to discover the final stage of Maradona's life
Opinion We failed to protect Maradona
Diego Maradona's
health
was appalling at the time he found him dead.
According to the results of the autopsy, known tonight in Buenos Aires, the legendary former footballer had not used drugs in the days before his death, but
his body was at its limit
: three key organs such as
the heart
,
the liver
and
the kidneys
.
Maradona
, who died on November 25 to 60, suffered from "
hepatic cirrhosis
acute tubular necrosis associated with
chronic renal disease
,
miocardiofibrosis
,
subendocardial
and areas suggesting ischemic acute", the report, which also detects a
" heart failure "
and serious lung problems.
"He was at the limit. Or beyond the limit
," a doctor who analyzed the report told EL MUNDO and asked not to be mentioned by name.
"And the autopsy suggests something else: Maradona was not medically well cared for," he added.
The analysis of
Maradona's
blood and urine
was negative for alcohol and narcotic consumption, but
positive for psychotropic drugs
, of which abundant traces were found.
Research sources told the Télam news agency that some of the psychotropic drugs found are "arrhythmogenic", that is, they
produce arrhythmia
, something dangerous in a patient with chronic heart disease.
"It is as important what appeared as what did not emerge from these laboratory tests, which at first glance confirm that Maradona
was given psychotropic drugs
but no medication for his heart disease," said one of the researchers cited by Télam.
The autopsy also confirmed that the heart of the world champion of Mexico 86 weighed 503 grams,
almost twice that of a normal heart
.
The death of the former Barcelona and Napoli player is the focus of
a judicial investigation
.
Both the doctor who operated on him in November on his head,
Leopoldo Luque
, and
Maradona's
psychiatrist and psychologist
have been questioned and are under investigation.
The prosecutor in charge seeks to determine if it was a "wrongful death".
In the coming weeks an interdisciplinary "medical board" will begin to deliberate, which will thoroughly analyze the case to determine "if the death was avoidable, if there was malpractice and if any of the professionals who treated him had any responsibility," said "La Nación ".
