Maradona died of sadness, says the Argentine journalist

So said Julio Chiapetta in an article by Clarín, which he spoke about on Radio Blu.

Chiapetta wrote in the Argentine newspaper that Diego Maradona he was going through depression, anxiety and distress so big that his doctors suggested that he continue his recovery in Cuba, a country he loved and where former president Fidel Castro shared with his friend.

The Argentine told the station that the internal problem between the Maradona family prevented their children from joining, and when they did “it was too late”.

“Really Diego [Maradona] died of sadness. Sadness because she was going through three specific situations; the first, unable to reunite the children on their birthday, the second, in this pandemic, he missed his mother, Mrs. Tota. He felt he needed her more than ever; and the third, the fact of the pandemic, and because he was a patient at risk, he could not go to train, ”Chiapetta told the radio.

Although the reporter attributes sentimental reasons to the death of the Argentine “star”, Legal Medicine said they were natural causes. The lawyer and friend of the former football player reported that he had no medical treatment for 12 hours and that the ambulance was late in arriving.

Chiapetta stated in his article that Maradona died asleep, surrounded by some relatives.

A year ago, one of Maradona’s daughters asked to pray for his health and assured him that they were “killing” him.

Today, the Argentine people gathered around the coffin of the “Pelusa” to greet each other, with songs, tears and kisses.

Maradona, who died this Wednesday after a cardiac arrest at the age of 60, he will be buried in a cemetery, where his parents are, a spokesman for the football legend told AFP.
