Maradona doctors ignored warning signs

A kidney specialist in Diego Maradona's death case testified that medical personnel ignored critical warning signs, failing to provide the daily supervision the football icon needed.

Nyrelege Hernan Trimarchi stated in court that Maradona, who died of heart failure in November 2020, should have received daily medical supervision, blood tests, and monitoring of his vital parameters. The specialist confirmed Maradona suffered from chronic kidney disease. newsindata.com

Trimarchi is the third medical expert in the case to claim that healthcare professionals overlooked important warning signs. Seven individuals, including Maradona's personal doctor, psychiatrist, and nurses, have been on trial since April for possible gross negligence that may have contributed to the football legend's death. They face up to 25 years in prison but all deny criminal responsibility. The trial is expected to conclude no earlier than September.
