Masseur details Diego Maradona's final days during negligence trial

Testimony in the ongoing trial regarding Diego Maradona's 2020 death reveals he was bedridden and suffering from edema at the time. His masseur, Nicolas Taffarel, described Maradona as resigned to his fate and noted his refusal to eat or engage in personal hygiene. Taffarel alerted Maradona's medical team about his worsening condition, but claimed he saw no significant action taken. Seven healthcare professionals are on trial for potential negligence, facing up to 25 years in prison, though they deny responsibility. The trial has been ongoing since mid-April and may extend beyond this month.
