LEOPOLDO LUQUE: "Relax, I'm on the highway now, I'll get there... it seems that the 'fatty' ('gordo' nickname of Maradona) is dead, he's really dead... (Instructions) Barrio San Andrés, you have to go to the one we always go (street) to Santa María Tigre, you have to continue on that one, continue, continue, down that street until you find Italia street, it is over Italy, now I will give you the location.
LEOPOLDO LUQUE: Yes, it seems that he did a cardiorespiratory arrest, the 'fatty' is going to die, no idea what he did, I'm going there.
AGUSTINA COSACHOV: We did it manually, now they are with the team, they are resuscitating him and intubating him. But we spent about ten minutes doing it ourselves because the ambulance did not arrive.
LEOPOLDO LUQUE: I understand, I understand that this is resuscitation, but are there now, are they still resuscitating him? Or are they already intubating him? I mean, did he recovered his pulse or not? That's what I want to know, if the heart is activated, if it's been under CPR for half an hour he's basically dead, that's what I want to know.
AGUSTINA COSACHOV: No, we entered the room and he was cold, cold with all the circulation marked. We started resuscitating him and he got his tone back a little bit and, let's say, he got his body temperature back a little bit. All that was more or less than 10 minutes, we did manual CPR, between the nurse, the 'black' (nickname for another man) and me, and 'Monona'. Later the ambulance arrived, now they are proceeding, they don't tell us how the situation is, I went out, they don't tell me anything.
LEOPOLDO LUQUE: Okay, okay, okay and the last thing I ask you, I'm on my way, I'll be there in 40 minutes, did you feel his pulse at some point or did he not have a pulse at all? I mean if he recovered his pulse. I know, I imagine that is why they need to revived him, but if he recovered his pulse, did you ever feel that he had a pulse again or not?
LEOPOLDO LUQUE: I imagine, stay chill, try to stay relax, he is a complex patient and well, whatever has to happen, we will be there to going through whatever comes.

STORYLINE:

The medical board concluded that Diego Maradona died 12 hours before his death, that "he was not in full use of his mental faculties", that he could have had "a better chance of survival" if he had been admitted to a clinic and that the medical team The trafficker was "deficient", "reckless" and "indifferent" to the certain possibility of his death, according to the Argentine media Infobae and Clarín.

This is clear from the 13 "medical legal conclusions" of the report, written by the official experts who for two months analyzed the circumstances of the death of the "10" and that on Monday it will be formally incorporated into the file.

"Although it is counterfactual to affirm that DAM (Diego Armando Maradona) would not have died had he had adequate hospitalization, taking into account the documented situation in the days prior to his death, in a multipurpose health center receiving care according to the good medical practices, we agree that he would have had a better chance of survival, "says the first conclusion.

Later, the official experts criticized the work of the medical team headed by the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque and the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, the two main defendants in the file, stating that their actions were "inadequate, deficient and reckless."

Conclusion number 13 and final is the one that, according to judicial sources already anticipated, will complicate the procedural situation of the accused with a possible change from the current heading of "culpable homicide" -with a penalty of 1 to 5 years in prison-, to a "simple homicide with eventual intent" -which provides for 8 to 25 years in prison-.

There, the board affirms that "the treating medical team fully and fully represented the possibility of the fatal outcome with respect to the patient, being absolutely indifferent to that issue, not modifying their behaviors and medical / care plan drawn up, maintaining the aforementioned harmful omissions, leaving the patient's state of health 'to chance'."

The experts ratified the conclusions of the autopsy that determined as the cause of death an "acute lung edema secondary to exacerbated chronic heart failure" and the complementary studies that did not detect drugs or alcohol in his body, but emphasized in this report that the former Gymnastics DT suffered a prolonged agony.

"DAM began to die at least 12 hours before 12:30 p.m. on 11/25/2020, that is, it presented unequivocal signs of a prolonged agonizing period, so we conclude that the patient was not properly controlled from 12:30 a.m." of that day, says this conclusion that could complicate the nurses accused in the case.

"The signs of life risk presented by the patient were ignored," say the experts and mention an audio message sent by the kinesiologist Nicolás Taffarel to Maradona's surroundings in which he said: "Last week I told you that you had to lift him up because it could make a lung edema."
