The prosecutors investigating the death of
Diego Armando Maradona (69)
made the decision to convene an interdisciplinary Medical Board to thoroughly analyze the case and be able to sentence whether the death was avoidable, whether there was malpractice and whether any of the professionals who They treated him had some responsibility.
"It is a complex case and we believe that it deserves the analysis of the most prestigious experts and medical professionals," said one of the researchers.
The team of prosecutors created by the attorney general of San Isidro, John Broyad, and made up of his deputies, Cosme Iribarren and Patricio Ferrari, and the prosecutor of Benavídez, Laura Capra, has
already begun to conduct the first surveys to see who the better candidates
to join that Medical Board, which would only be formed at the end of the year anyway.
What was Maradona's health picture?
Did someone do the checks?
Was the rented house in the country of San Andrés de Tigre the right place for a patient like Diego? These are some of the questions that prosecutors will ask, according to sources.
"We will wait for the results of all the toxicological and histopathological studies to arrive and we will organize all the documents collected in the case, in order to deliver to each expert the material they need," said another of the judicial spokesmen consulted.
The autopsy, the medical records and all the medical documentation that has been kidnapped or provided on Maradona and the complementary studies to the autopsy will be the focus of the board's analysis, as planned by the prosecutors.
The idea of Broyad, Iribarren, Ferrari and Capra is for the Medical Board to be made up first of all by the forensic doctor who led the autopsy, Federico Corasaniti, head of the San Isidro Medical Corps, a lawyer who is highly trusted by prosecutors and who Among other outstanding cases, he carried out an autopsy on Natacha Jaitt, the femicide Jorge Neuss and his murdered wife Silvia Saravia, and who participated in the reconstruction in the reinvestigation of the María Marta García Belsunce case that culminated in Nicolás Pachelo and two former vigilantes, accused and elevated to oral trial.
The other official experts who participated in the autopsy and could also be on the board are the Director of Forensic Medicine of the Scientific Police, Carlos Cassinelli;
the head of the San Isidro morgue, Agustín Grimoldi;
the head of the San Martín Medical Corps, Alejandro Vega;
and the head of the La Plata Medical Corps, Javier Grubiza.
Each of the parties, that is to say, for now the defenses of the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque (39) and the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov (35), and the complaint of Diego Fernando Maradona (7), the son who was younger than "10" with Verónica Ojeda, he may propose private experts who will also be on the board.
The idea of the prosecutors is that renowned professionals and professors from all branches of medicine -legists, clinicians, psychiatrists, neurologists and cardiologists- be summoned to make up the expert team.
Some of the prosecutors began to consult with different expert bodies and authorities of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Buenos Aires, according to the sources.
The Medical Board is a tool that in other resounding cases gave results, such as the crime of Ángeles Rawson, the 16-year-old teenager who in 2013 was murdered in her building in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo and thrown in the trash by the manager of the place.
An initial autopsy had concluded that Ángeles had died compacted in the garbage truck and that she had not detected signs of sexual abuse, which meant that the defendant, goalkeeper Jorge Mangeri, could only be accused of simple homicide.
The then investigating judge Javier Feliciano Ríos, ordered a re-autopsy and the holding of a Medical Board with 82 points of expertise that lasted a month and whose conclusions determined that the adolescent had been strangled during a sexual attack that did not take place and with As a result, the cover was changed and Mangeri is serving life in prison today for "femicide, sexual abuse and aggravated murder, criminis causa."
"Our idea is that all the medical evidence that is collected is analyzed in detail by this body of experts and that a solid and irrefutable expert opinion emerges from the Medical Board that gives us the certainties we seek, that is,
if the death of Maradona it was avoidable and if there is someone responsible, "
said one of the judicial sources consulted by
Télam
.
Maradona, the greatest figure in the history of world football, died at the age of 60 on November 25 at noon, in a house that his family had rented in lot 45 of the country San Andrés de Tigre, two weeks after his discharge from the Olivos clinic, where he had undergone neurosurgery for a subdural hematoma in the brain.
The autopsy determined that the "10" died as a result of "acute lung edema secondary to exacerbated chronic heart failure" and discovered in his heart a "dilated cardiomyopathy."
