The house where Diego Maradona, the legend of the Argentine national football team, died on November 25, 2020, is currently at the center of an ongoing court case. Located in the "San Andres" residential complex in the Benavidez area of Buenos Aires, this two-story building offered unbearable conditions for the footballer's final days.
Idman.Biz reports, citing Argentine media, that prosecutors and plaintiffs claim the house was completely unsuitable for home treatment and was chosen to isolate Diego.
The house was located approximately 700 meters from the entrance of the residential complex, which made it difficult for emergency services to reach the scene in a timely manner in the event of any emergency. Although the main bedrooms and fully equipped bathroom were located on the second floor, the narrowness of the stairs and the lack of handrails made it impossible for Maradona, who was in poor physical condition, to climb upstairs.
The game room on the first floor was converted into a bedroom for the footballer. Since the sliding door of this room did not reach the floor, sound and light filled the room, which interfered with the patient's rest.
There was only a small sanitary unit with a toilet and sink on the first floor, and there were no facilities for showering. For this reason, a container was placed in the room to meet his natural needs at night.
Colin Campbell, the first doctor to arrive at the scene, noted that the room was very messy and dirty, and that no first aid kit, oxygen cylinder or any other medical equipment was found there. Veronica Ojeda sharply criticized the condition of the house in her testimony in court, stating that there was a terrible smell in the room and that it was impossible to stay there.
