Maradona death trial: Expert cites sudden death and potential Covid-19 cause
In the ongoing trial regarding the death of Diego Maradona, official forensic expert Pablo Ferrari provided testimony that challenges previous medical conclusions. Ferrari, appearing as the final witness for the defense, testified that Maradona's death was sudden, occurring within a period of minutes to a few hours, rather than the prolonged agony suggested by other medical experts.
Ferrari stated that Maradona died from cardiorespiratory arrest caused by ventricular cardiac failure and acute pulmonary edema. Crucially, the expert argued that Covid-19 cannot be ruled out as a potential cause of death, noting that a failure to perform a Covid-19 test during the initial autopsy was a “methodological error.”
The trial involves seven health professionals, including psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov and physician Leopoldo Luque, who are facing charges of alleged criminal negligence. The defense has utilized Ferrari's testimony to suggest that the death was an unpredictable, sudden event rather than a result of medical mismanagement.
