A panel of medical experts revealed that football star Diego Maradona received inadequate medical care that led to the player's death. Because of this, the player was reported to experience a "prolonged, agonizing period," before his death in the previous year, Al Jazeera reported.

It can be remembered that Diego Maradona died on November 25, 2020. Maradona's spokesperson confirmed during that time that the Argentine football star lost his life due to a heart attack after two weeks of being released from a hospital in Buenos Aires. The spokesperson also noted that the football star had other conditions before his surgery.

Medical Experts Point Fingers on Diego Maradona's Medical Team

A medical board appointed to investigate the death of the football player has concluded that the medical team of the Argentine player acted in "an inappropriate, deficient and reckless manner," Reuters reported citing the report the outlet has acquired on Friday.

Maradona's neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, psychologist Carlos Diaz, and psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov were placed under investigation along with two other nurses, a nursing coordinator, and a medical coordinator.

The investigation followed the directives of Argentina's public prosecutor as they tapped 20 medical experts to look into the cause of death of the football star and discover whether there is any negligence from Maradona's medical team.

The panel accused Diego Maradona's medical team of leaving the football star survival to "fate," BBC reported.

Reuter noted that Maradona had become "seriously" unwell and was dying for around 12 hours before his death on November 25, 2020.

"He presented unequivocal signs of a prolonged agonizing period," said the medical experts working on the investigation. Because of this, the medical experts concluded that Diego Maradona was not properly monitored from 12:30 in the morning of November 25, 2020.

Meanwhile, two of the Argentine football superstar's daughters blamed Luque for his deteriorating health. Moreover, the panel also concluded that Diego Maradona would have a better chance of survival if he received adequate treatment in an appropriate medical facility.

Furthermore, the panel also discovered that the football star's treatments have deficiencies and irregularities.
