Maradona's Medical Team to Face Trial for His Death
Eight health care professionals, including neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque and psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, will stand trial for homicide by negligence in the death of soccer legend Diego Maradona in 2020. Maradona's medical team is accused of failing to provide adequate care, and a medical board's report concluded that he could still be alive if he had been properly hospitalized. Maradona died of a heart attack on Nov. 25, 2020, at a rented residence outside Buenos Aires following brain surgery two weeks earlier.
