Diego Maradona's lawyer, Matías Morla, said Thursday he would request a full investigation into the soccer star's death and he criticized what he said was a slow response of the emergency service, according to Reuters.
Maradona, 60, died on Wednesday at his home in Tigre, north of Buenos Aires, after suffering a heart attack.
The legend, arguably football’s greatest ever player, had many health problems and weeks ago he had undergone surgery for a blood clot in his head.
“It is inexplicable that for 12 hours my friend has had no attention or check-up from the personnel dedicated to these ends,” Morla wrote on his Twitter account.
“The ambulance took more than half an hour to arrive, which was a criminal idiocy,” he added, saying that the fact should not be “brushed aside” and that he would seek a full investigation into the matter.
