“Maradona fell before his death”

Diego Maradona’s personal doctor, Leopoldo Luque, is accused of manslaughter but is not aware of any guilt. Now a keeper of the football legend brings new details to light.

It becomes more and more uncomfortable for Leopoldo Luque and his team of doctors. After investigators ransacked Maradona’s personal doctor’s home and office on Sunday to look for evidence of medical misconduct, a nurse has now dropped a bomb.

Nurse Gisela Madrid revealed through her lawyer how the Argentine football legend really spent the last few days before his death: according to them, Maradona would have fallen in his home a few days after the brain operation, but it was not cured.

“Diego fell in his home a week before he died and fell on his head,” Rodolfo Baqué, the nurse’s lawyer, told Argentine television. “But they didn’t take him to the hospital for a visit,” Baqué said in the newspaper “Repubblica”.

And again: “Maradona did not fall on the side from which a blood clot had previously been removed. However, you should have called a doctor. But it wasn’t done. You just got him and put him to bed. “The doctors left Maradona alone in his room for three days after the fall.

“… then he would still be alive today”

The 60-year-old’s pulse was too high, says Baqué: “He had a heart rate of 115 per minute, compared to 109 the day before his death. A person with heart problems should never have more than 80 beats per minute.” Maradona has not been cured. Baqué: “He could have had the best doctors in the world, but they just left him there. If he had been taken to a clinic, he would still be alive today. “

Personal doctor Leopoldo Luque on Sunday rejected all the charges and said through tears that he had nothing to blame. Maradona no longer wanted to go to hospital and decided to seek treatment at home. “He died of a heart attack and was unpredictable,” said Luque, who said Maradona would be fine before he died. “That’s not true,” Baqué replies. “Maradona’s heart had sent clear signals, but no one was listening.”
