• 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 ".
