We also talked about treatment for alcohol addiction.
Diego Maradona has passed away. While the details are few, according to the publication Clarin, Diego died of sudden cardiac arrest. The Argentine was at his home in the San Andres area. Several ambulances arrived at the scene at once, but they could not save the legend. On October 30, the great Argentinian celebrated his 60th birthday, and after that date, suspicious things began to happen to him.
On October 30, his birthday, Maradona attended the match between his Gimnasia and Esgrima against Patronato. The match was dedicated to Diego's 60th birthday. In front of him he received a commemorative plaque, but did not stay to watch the game itself, citing poor health.
On November 3, Argentine media reported that Maradona, head of the Argentinean club Gimnasia and Esgrima, was hospitalized for a series of examinations. During his last public appearance on October 30 at his birthday celebration, his condition worsened and he found it difficult to walk. Maradona arrived at the clinic accompanied by his personal doctor. Surrounded by Maradona, they immediately ruled out that the hospitalization was related to COVID-19, and they assure that this was not an emergency situation and it was agreed with the Argentine himself.
“He is here because he wanted to come. Nothing threatened his health. He was hospitalized for three days to rehydrate his body. He wants to lead his team on Sunday. Diego is fine, he can leave the clinic if he wants.
I strongly deny any recurrence of drug and alcohol dependence symptoms. It could be anemia, ”said Maradona's personal physician Leopoldo Luca. In early 2020, he oversaw the surgery to remove Diego's stomach hernia.
However, TYC Sports claimed that, with the help of tests, a subdural hematoma was found in Maradona's brain, and now Diego is going to have surgery. At the same time, Maradona's friend and manager Stefano Ceci made an ambiguous statement:
“Diego must have hit his head and didn't realize it. This could be due to the insomnia pills he is taking. The doctors said that the operation was not very dangerous. Maradona was depressed in recent days, and anemia was added to this. His body has been tested for years due to his lifestyle, and the pandemic has not improved Diego's psychological state either.
He was locked at home for several months, with only a cook and an assistant with him. Maradona hasn't even seen his family since the start of the pandemic. All believers should pray for him. We hope that Diego will soon overcome this situation. ”The next day, November 4, it became known that Maradona had indeed undergone surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain.
“After 1.5 hours of surgery, we solved Diego's problem. Everything went well, now he will remain under surveillance. The operation was an important step, but the swelling has already passed, so Maradona will be able to recover, ”said his doctor Luca, who explained that there were no complications and Diego would soon recover.
Maradona insisted on early discharge and, according to Leopoldo Luque, danced after surgery. But he was discharged only on November 11, 9 days after hospitalization. “Maradona overcame the most difficult and delicate moment of his life. Fortunately, he is doing well now and is determined to get better. It is important that he thinks only about recovery, surrounding himself with his family. Now he just needs care and tranquility, ”said Maradona's lawyer Matias Morla.
However, the very next day, November 12, the BBC reported that Diego was taken back to the hospital, this time for alcohol addiction treatment. Since then, there has been no news about Maradona until recently. Whether Diego's misadventures over the past month are related to his death, we have yet to find out.
