Diego Maradona's Autopsy: Shocking Revelations
The forensic report on football legend Diego Maradona has unveiled distressing details about his final hours. Expert witness Mauricio Cassinelli stated in court that Maradona suffered a prolonged agony lasting up to twelve hours before his passing.
Heart Twice Its Normal Size
Maradona's heart was discovered to be twice its normal size, accompanied by a severe body-wide edema. The report also noted the presence of 4.5 liters of accumulated fluid in his body.
Prolonged Agony and Medical Negligence
Experts confirmed that the build-up of fluid was not sudden but had developed over at least ten days. The forensic examination identified "dilated cardiomyopathy," a heart condition that weakens and enlarges the heart muscle, leading to his tragic demise.
Maradona's Final Hours
The autopsy revealed that from 12:30 AM onwards, Maradona received no medical supervision, leading to an estimated suffering period of up to twelve hours. The forensic expert presented graphic images showcasing fatty deposits in his lungs and kidney damage caused by chronic hypertension.
Alternative Autopsy Report
A separate forensic report by Pablo Ferrari, commissioned by the defendants, contradicted these findings, suggesting Maradona's agony lasted mere minutes or hours at most. The prosecution, however, questioned the validity of this report.
Legal Battle Over Maradona's Death
Multiple medical professionals, including Maradona's psychiatrist and personal doctor, face trial over alleged negligence. Additionally, the court rejected a request from Maradona's son, Diego Junior, to exclude his aunts from legal proceedings regarding his father's estate.
