The trial regarding Diego Maradona's death has revealed new details about the circumstances of his passing. During hearings, doctors who treated Maradona testified about their experiences on November 25, 2020. A neighbor and doctor, Campbell Irigoyen, was the first to speak in court. He arrived at Maradona's home shortly after a call for help. Irigoyen stated that Maradona had likely been dead for "an hour or two" when he arrived. He noted that Maradona's body was cold and showed no signs of life. Two doctors, Juan Carlos Pinto and another from a medical emergency company, also testified. Pinto, who signed Maradona's death certificate, emphasized that the condition of Maradona's body indicated he had been deceased for over two hours. He described signs such as rigor mortis and unusual swelling in Maradona's abdomen. During the trial, police officers shared their observations about the scene. They remarked on the state of Maradona's body and noted the chaotic environment within the home. Prosecutor Patricio Ferrari presented an unpublished photo of Maradona in bed, underscoring the seriousness of the case. He emphasized the need for justice for Maradona and his family. The trial continues with several health workers facing charges of manslaughter due to neglect.
