He was found to have died of a heart attack.

Neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov and six others had appealed a 2022 decision to put them on trial for homicide with potential aggravating circumstances.

Prosecutors accused the medical professionals of being involved in “reckless” and “deficient” home treatment of a patient.

The eight defendants had appealed to the court in San Isidro, against the severity of the charges, arguing that they should be accused of involuntary homicide.

The initial accusation of homicide with “dolus eventualis” holds a person responsible for negligence while knowing that such conduct could lead to death.

A panel of 20 medical experts convened by Argentina’s public prosecutor said in 2021 that Maradona “would have had a better chance of survival” with adequate treatment in an appropriate medical facility.

No trial date has yet been set.
