Maradona, his son’s accusations against doctors: “My father died because of the doctors”

For the former beach soccer player “you don’t need an expert to understand that the fault lies with the medical staff who looked after my father”. To Silvia Toffanin, Maradona Jr admitted: “When the autopsy was done, my father had three and a half liters of fluid in his body. How did the doctors not notice that he was so ill? Or did they notice and didn’t care?”

The 39-year-old revealed that he had listened to the audio made available in the investigation: “They are very bad audio in which things are said like: ‘He will die, leave him alone’ or ‘We have to do the medical records, if he dies we don’t have a medical record'”. Maradona had not been well for some time, so “he should have had a very long medical record”. “Dad – continued Maradona Jr. – was taken to a house against our will. In the last few days he has been kept on psychotropic drugs, in a state of semi-consciousness”.

Diego Armando Maradona Junior said he was determined to obtain the truth about his father’s death: “I don’t think it’s right that they let him die like this. I want justice to be done because, after a life like the one he had, I hope that on November 25, 2020 he found some peace, but without justice it’s as if he wasn’t completely at peace.”
