Sometimes unknown details come to light that shed even more light on the figure of Pelusa, such as those revealed by the doctor and journalist Nelson Castro in his book Diego’s health: the true story.

Castro has been able to access secret files and unpublished documents, and this Sunday he went to promote it on Argentine television.

In an interview for the channel The thirteen from Argentina, the doctor revealed that Maradona is “buried without a heart”, highlights newspaper AS from Spain.

“There was a group of Gymnastics brave bars that planned to break in and extract the heart. That did not come to fruition because it was an act of enormous daring. It was detected that this was going to happen, so his heart was extracted, also to study it because his heart is very important for determining the cause of Maradona’s death. Obviously, the information is that he is buried without a heart, “he said.

Nelson Castro also provided details about the organ of the Ten: “(His heart) weighed half a kilo when a heart weighs 300 grams. He had a big heart because of other things, like his heart failure and because of the heart disease that he had, “he said.

Precisely about that episode that took place in Punta del Este in January 2000, the doctor defends that “there he was saved by the Uruguayan doctor who went to see him, Dr. Jorge Romero, but the one who discovers it is Guillermo Coppola who sees him in a very bad situation ”.

“Coppola realizes that if Maradona puts him to bed, he does what is called ventricular fibrillation and dies. Then he takes him seated, they have that for dramatic in a service station, they arrive at the hospital, they put him to bed and there he does ventricular fibrillation, which is a step prior to the arrest, and there they save him because they were with all the elements. But it was a dramatic situation where the doctor had the courage and the mettle to handle that, because of what it represented, it was also having Maradona’s life in his hands, neither more nor less ”, he added.

‘A privileged body’

Nelson Castro has carried out a laborious investigation in which he has been able to access “all the medical sources that had to see Diego”, but highlights the statement that Maradona “had a privileged body in terms of its resistance.”

“As the dilated heart doctor said, other people would have died. The problem is that he never wanted to make a sustained recovery ”, he assures.

Of course, the ex-footballer also had “an addictive personality from very early on”, and maintains that “he began to take drugs in Boca” as shown by the record of Alfredo Cahe, his third personal doctor. Among his addictions was also sex, according to Castro: “Among his addictions was sex. He had an impressive sexual voracity, which is seen in the case of Cuba. She always had a very complicated women’s environment, which was a nightmare for Claudia Villafañe. He was a man surrounded by women and who was constantly looking for women ”.

The author confesses that when you finish the book you feel sorry, because you see that Maradona “needed to feel loved” but “he was the center of the world, a volatile person, and that led him to a life of excess”. (D)
