Argentine football legend, Diego Maradona has died of cardiac arrest at the age of 60.
Maradona’s spokesman confirmed the tragic story on Wednesday.
It will be recalled that the Gimnasia coach had been hospitalised at the start of November, days after celebrating the landmark birthday, after complaining of low spirits and fatigue.
Tests at the La Plata clinic revealed a blood clot on the brain, which doctors later revealed was operated on successfully.
Maradona was subsequently released from hospital as an outpatient to continue his convalescence, which he carried out in his dwelling in a private neighbourhood near Tigre, northern Buenos Aires.
Unfortunately, on Wednesday morning he suffered cardiac arrest, and paramedics at the scene failed to revive him.
