No charges have been filed against anyone relating to Maradona’s death. Speaking to CNN affiliate TN on Sunday, Luque said he was suffering from the loss of his friend but said he couldn’t have done more to help him.” I was at his burial. I was at his funeral. I was with him in every moment because I knew that’s what he wanted,” he said. “I saw many people whom I had never seen before.

And then that one day I wasn’t with him, I can’t believe it.” He added: “Since Diego had some health problems, many, many before knowing me, Diego needed help. There was no way to get to him. “Diego has autonomy. Diego always makes decisions about his health, the same way you decide if you want to overeat, if you want to over smoke, Diego decides. Diego is not insane. He is someone who can always decide. “CNN reached out to Luque for comment but has not received a response.
