Diego Maradona’s autopsy has shown the Argentina legend had
no alcohol or narcotic drugs in his body when he died, ESPN reports.
Maradona died on November 25 at the age of 60, two weeks
after being released from a Buenos Aires hospital following brain surgery.
Earlier this month, a preliminary autopsy revealed that he
died in his sleep of acute pulmonary oedema, a build-up of fluid in the lungs
due to congestive heart failure.
The latest toxicological report, however, detected no
alcohol or illegal substances, except the presence of psychotropic drugs used
to treat anxiety and depression.
The autopsy also indicated that aside from the heart and
lungs, Maradona’s kidneys and liver were damaged.
The report also revealed that the heart of the 1986 World
Cup winner weighed almost twice that of a normal heart.
Maradona’s lawyer, Matias Morla, had requested a full
investigation regarding the circumstances of the football legend’s death,
criticising what he said was a slow response by emergency services.
