BREAKING: World’s Greatest Soccer Player, Diego Maradona Is Dead
Diego Maradona, one of the world’s greatest soccer players and icon, is dead.
He died at the age of 60.
He was initially admitted to another clinic in La Plata with signs of depression, anemia and dehydration, before being moved to Olivos when the subdural hematoma was discovered.
Dr Luque said an accident likely caused the subdural hematoma but that Maradona did not recall any falls or setbacks.
Subdural haematoma can be a medical emergency. It’s usually caused by a head injury strong enough to burst blood vessels. This can cause pooled blood to push on the brain. Age, blood-thinning drugs and alcohol abuse increase risk.
Maradona felt sick on October 30 while coaching first-division team Gimnasia y Esgrima. He had left before the end of the first half, raising questions about his health.
Earlier this month, Maradona underwent brain surgery after suffering a cardiorespiratory arrest.
Manchester United and England forward Marcus Rashford paid tribute on micro-blogging site, Twitter, while Gary Lineker wrote: “By some distance the best player of my generation and arguably the greatest of all time. After a blessed but troubled life, hopefully he’ll finally find some comfort in the hands of God. #RipDiego”
The Argentine FA also confirmed the sad news in a statement on Twitter: “The Argentine Football Association, through its President Claudio Tapia, expresses its deepest sorrow for the death of our legend, Diego Armando Maradona.
“You will always be in our hearts,” Argentine FA tweeted a tribute.
Diego Maradona led Argentina to World Cup success in 1986.
