An autopsy has been completed on Argentinian footballer Diego Maradona after the star died last month.

A toxicology report has revealed no alcohol or illegal drugs were present in the 60-year-old’s body at the time of death.

There was a presence of medicines that Maradona was taking to treat depression, anxiety and other ailments.

The Buenos Aires Scientific Police added that after completing the blood and urine tests, it was revealed the footballer turned manager had issues with his kidneys, heart and lungs.

The updated autopsy has confirmed Maradona died as a result of ‘acute pulmonary edema secondary to exacerbated chronic heart failure with dilated cardiomyopathy’

In a bizarre twist after the famous footballer died, a judge has ruled Maradona’s body cannot be exhumed to allow for DNA to be taken for paternity tests.

That came after Santiago Lara, 19, told his lawyer Jose Nunez to make an exhumation request to the courts just hours after Maradona was buried.

The request was submitted in Lara’s home city of La Plata, which is about an hour’s drive south of capital Bueno Aires.

He has asked for the body to be exhumed and sent to a court morgue, as well as access to the Barcelona and Napoli star’s autopsy and DNA results.

This follows a six-year-long battle to discover the truth about his parentage that started when he saw a picture of Maradona in a paper with his pixelated face beneath it when he was just 13 years old.

Lara’s mum died aged 23 from lung cancer in 2006 after an alleged seven year relationship with Maradona, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time.

Lara was raised by his mother’s ex-boyfriend, Marcelo Lara.

However, the teenager started his campaign to prove that he is Maradona’s biological son whilst he was alive, after failing to reach an amicable settlement with the footballer’s own legal team.

He told Telemundo’s Suelta la Sopa programme: “My mum sadly died when I was just three years old but days before her death, when she had to remove her ventilator to speak, she told a group of lawyers I was Diego’s son.

“I just want to know who I am. The financial side of things is not something that matters to me.

“I know this demand is going to cause major turmoil in Argentina but if I don’t do this, who is going to give me the DNA?”
