Maradona survival rate if he had received adequate medical care
The experts also say Maradona could have had a better chance of survival with adequate treatment in an appropriate medical clinic. The football star died in a rented house in a chic neighborhood in Buenos Aires where he received home care. A few weeks earlier, he had undergone brain surgery to remove a blood clot.
Maradona is considered one of the greatest football players of all time. The former attacker led Argentina to the world title in 1986 and in 1987 and 1990 gave Napoli the only league titles in club history.
Seven people are being investigated, including brain surgeon and personal physician Leopoldo Luque , psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov and psychologist Carlos Díaz.
