Maradona's personal doctor probed for involuntary manslaughter November 30, 2020 - 12:32 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Late football legend Diego Maradona's doctor is under investigation for involuntary manslaughter four days after the Argentine player suffered a fatal heart attack, state news agency Telam has reported, according to Deutsche Welle. Police raided the home and clinic of Maradona's doctor Leopoldo Luque early Sunday, November 29, according to several local news outlets. The raid came after witnesses reportedly told investigators they had seen a fight between Maradona and his 39-year-old personal physician, which allegedly included a shove. Luque gave an emotional response to the suspicions in a televised news conference, saying through tears: "You want to know what I am responsible for? For having loved him, for having taken care of him, for having extended his life, for having improved it to the end." Maradona's personal doctor said that he had done "everything he could, up to the impossible" to save his "friend." The daily La Nacion newspaper cited a source as saying the searches were ordered as part of an investigation into "culpable homicide." Argentina is coming out of three days of national mourning following the death of the football legend. Maradona died after suffering from a heart attack at his home in the outskirts of Buenos Aires on Wednesday.
