In the days preceding his sudden death while recovering from a skull operation on November 25, Diego Armando Maradona "hadn't consumed drugs or alcohol", as someone had maliciously insinuated. Confirmation of this came today from the Argentine prosecutor who announced the result of the toxicological reports carried out on the blood and urine of the 'pibe de oro' after the autopsy on 2 December. The document signed by the experts appointed by the magistrates who try to understand any malicious responsibility in the death of the 'Diez', however, has revealed details that could lead to sensational investigations. From the study of the organic findings, in fact, an important presence of at least four psychotropic drugs was found (venlafaxine, quetiapine, levetiracetam and naltrexone), some of which according to the experts would even be "arrhythmogens", that is, capable of producing arrhythmias, while traces are absent of medicines concerning the serious heart diseases suffered by the former footballer. In fact, it should be remembered that the preliminary results of the autopsy established that Maradona died of "acute pulmonary edema linked to acute chronic heart failure" and to "dilated cardiomyopathy". Overall, the coroners found that Diego's condition was of grave concern, with other organs besides the heart suffering from significant problems. In fact, the report evokes, among other pathologies, liver cirrhosis, renal necrosis and lungs with asphyxiated characteristics. Now, based on the latest developments, the idea of ​​the prosecutors conducting the investigation (Laura Capra, Cosme Iribarren and Patricio Ferrari) is to convene an interdisciplinary medical commission to analyze the case and determine if death was avoidable, if any. it was negligence, and if any of the professionals involved, the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque and the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, may have responsibility. However, since as they say, "the show must go on ...", Maradona's ex-wife, Claudia Villafañe, has decided to participate in the Argentine edition of MasterChef, eventually qualifying for the semifinal. Excited, when the presenter of the gastronomic reality show, Santiago del Moro, communicated the passage to the penultimate phase of the competition, she declared: "I did not want to say anything, because every day they say good things and no. I have not spoken, I have not done no tribute, but I have decided that (the recognition obtained today) goes to the father of my daughters ... ". And he concluded: "For me and for my whole family these are very emotional times"
