Maradona’s Final Days Under Scrutiny | Toronto News

The trial of Maradona’s doctors unfolds as his former masseur, Nicolas Taffarel, delivers a harrowing account of the football legend’s final days—bedridden, refusing food and hygiene, and emotionally detached. Taffarel testified he repeatedly warned medical staff about worsening swelling and neglect, urging daily visits, but says their reassurances were dismissive. A chilling moment: Maradona told him, “I don’t want anything, Taffita, that’s it.” Now, seven healthcare professionals face charges of negligence over his death from heart failure and pulmonary edema, denying direct responsibility. The trial, already stretching since April, could last into August, blending legal scrutiny with profound emotional weight around one of sport’s greatest icons.
