Isolated and incommunicado.
The last three days before his death, Diego Armando Maradona (60) had no contact with the outside world.
The "Ten" did not send or read messages, did not make or answer calls.
Activity on his two phones was almost nil.
This is clear from an expert opinion on the iPhone of the star, which also showed that since he was discharged on November 11, the two cell phones were most of the time in "
airplane mode
",
sources with access to the file
told
Clarín
.
The analysis of the devices is one more testimony that shows how the last days of Maradona's life were in the rented house in the private neighborhood of San Andrés, in Tigre.
"It coincides with the declaration of his relatives that
they could not contact him
,"
a source in the case
told
Clarín
.
Little interaction, unanswered or missed calls, chats read but not answered, disconnection and even very few steps with the cell phone in hand or in the pocket, according to the record of the wellness apps.
The iPhones were appraised through the UFED system, a software used internationally to audit phones with iOS (Apple) or Android operating systems, at the request of the team of prosecutors in charge of the investigation, made up of Patricio Ferrari, Cosme Iribarren and Laura Capra and led by the attorney general of San Isidro, John Broyad.
The room where Diego Maradona died, in the San Andrés de Tigre neighborhood.
Maradona had a black iPhone 7 Plus and a dark gray iPhone 8 plus.
The period analyzed was between November 11 and 25, since the "Ten" was discharged after the operation on his head until his death, 14 days later.
In those two weeks, the devices were always with the same chip, although the researchers managed to determine that between the two,
six different lines were
used
.
The most relevant data that the expert report threw is that
on November 23, 24 and 25, Maradona did not speak by phone or chat with anyone
.
All in a context of poor communication during the time that the star was in the house of the San Andrés neighborhood During those fifteen days, the former coach of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata interacted by phone (calls, video calls, messages, chats)
with just six people

From the call log it was learned that in those fifteen days Maradona's cell phones managed to connect five calls.
He did four of them, he
only attended one
.
But the detailed analysis shows that most of the time, the star was called and did not attend.
Did you actually know they were calling you?
The registers
As
Clarín
learned
, the iPhone 8 Plus record accounts for 38 calls.
Thirty of them were starters and only one was served.
Seventeen calls were deleted from the phone's log
.
On the other iPhone, the experts discovered that Maradona received 12 calls and only answered one.
He also made two that were not taken care of.
Regarding chats, on the iPhone 8 Plus there were six WhatsApp conversations, among which there were a total of 24 messages.
Of these, 15 were received messages and only five had been read.
Only one was answered and the rest were alerts for missed voice and video calls.
In the other device, the researchers observed five conversations with 19 messages received (ten chats and nine notifications of missed calls in total).
None were read by Diego

Another very striking issue is that the two iPhones spent most of the time in "airplane mode", the function that disables the connection of all antennas: wifi, network, data, bluetooth.
For example, the iPhone 8 Plus was “offline” between November 9 and 23.
It was only activated intermittently.
That would explain why most of the calls Maradona received are listed as rejected.
The investigators' suspicion is that
someone activated "airplane mode" on the phone so that he was incommunicado
and, at the same time, manipulated the call log so that he would not find out who was looking for him.
The steps
The expert opinion included the analysis of the “Health” application that counts the steps that a person takes with their phone on top.
The iPhone 8 Plus logged 216 steps (154 meters covered) in two weeks.
That is, the phone was immobile most of the time, such as between November 14 and 17, November 19 and 20, and 22 and 25, when it did not register movements.
The same thing happened with the iPhone 7: 189 steps (136 meters) between November 11 and 13, with the particularity that it did not move any more from November 14 to 25.

While awaiting the conclusions of the medical board to assess whether or not there was responsibility of the professionals in charge of Maradona's health in his death, prosecutors are also working on an analysis of the general communications traffic between Maradona's lines and his environment through the VAIC system (Links for Computer Analysis of Communications).
Maradona (60) died on November 25 of a heart decompensation.
The criminal case has seven defendants: the two most complicated are the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque (39) and the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov (36).
