A trial is currently underway in Argentina involving seven healthcare professionals accused of negligence regarding the 2020 death of football legend Diego Maradona. During proceedings on Tuesday, a witness testified that medical staff failed to act upon clear warning signs during the period of home hospitalization that preceded his passing.

Maradona died of heart failure and acute pulmonary edema, a condition characterized by fluid buildup in the lungs, occurring two weeks after he underwent surgery. The ongoing legal proceedings, which began in mid-April, seek to determine the extent of professional responsibility for the circumstances surrounding his death.
