The Argentinian legend lived his last hours in a critical situation and in bad company.

Diego Armando Maradona died at the age of 60 after a life in which he transformed himself into one of Argentina greatest legends of all-time. The ex-soccer player could arrive to be a legend after several historical victories with his national team, including the World Cup won on Mexico in 1986.

But during the last weeks, Maradona wasn’t having a good time. His health was already deteriorated after a life of excesses and problems. Some weeks ago, he passed some nights in a hospital, where he was operated for a problem in his head by doctor Leopoldo Luque.

But after that, doctors considered that he could leave to his house, and he went to live to Tigre, at Buenos Aires, Argentina, in a private country. The day in which he passed away, Maradona needed medical attention urgently but couldn’t receive it as he was not in a hospital.

A neighbor from the country where he was living had to urgently arrive to the house after the call of his surroundings and tried to help Maradona. But as it was reported by local press it was already too late and his life couldn’t be saved. Maradona finally died at the age of 60, after a life in which he transformed into a complete legend.
