Maradona’s ex-doctor affirms that his death was preventable. While the investigations on whether there was medical negligence are advancing today, the Argentinean doctor Alfredo Cahe, who treated Diego Armando Maradona for more than three decades, affirmed that his death was avoidable. Cahe gave a statement before the team of prosecutors of the Buenos Aires city of San Isidro, who are investigating the case, coordinated by Attorney General John Broyad, and integrated by his deputies Patricio Ferrari and Cosme Iribarren, and the prosecutor Laura Capra. In stating his criteria, the man who was Maradona’s family doctor between 1978 and 2009, pointed out that according to the autopsy results, his death was caused by heart and kidney failure. This result was totally avoidable with proper monitoring and control, he said. According to the statement, to which the news agency Telam had access from sources close to the file, Cahe specified that a patient like ‘Pelusa’ ‘had to have a permanent medical control’.
