Diego Maradona was recovering from a recent brain procedure in his Buenos Aires home when he died, according to NPR. In the aftermath of the football star’s death, the offices of his personal doctor Leopoldo Luciano Luque — who denied he was involved in Maradon’s post-surgery care — were searched by authorities. A 20-member panel was also formed to further investigate the details surrounding his death.
At that time, the eight medical professionals now charged with homicide denied any involvement in the decision to let Maradona recover at home. Instead, the defense representing Luque says that two other companies, Medidom and Swiss Medical, were primarily responsible for Maradona’s home care and that these two companies had also intended to help treat Maradona’s alleged alcohol dependency.

But in the days leading up to Maradona’s fatal heart attack, the football star exhibited signs that should’ve caused more alarm among the medical staff attending him, according to the prosecution (via the Buenos Aires Times).
