Negligence led to Maradona's death, claims daughter Dalma

Argentine football legend Diego Maradona's daughter told a court on Tuesday his death "would have been avoided" if doctors caring for him after surgery had done their jobs.

Maradona died on November 25, 2020, aged 60, while recovering at home from brain surgery for a blood clot. He had battled cocaine and alcohol addiction for decades.

His seven-person medical team is on trial for what prosecutors have called the "horror theater" of the final days of his life, and risk up to 25 years in prison if found guilty.

Maradona was found to have died of heart failure and acute pulmonary edema - a condition where fluid accumulates in the lungs - two weeks after going under the knife.
