Maradona suffered a heart attack at his Buenos Aires home. He had successful surgery on a brain blood clot earlier in November and was to be treated for alcohol dependency before he died.

Diego Maradona’s death has been confirmed by the Argentine Football Association.

The association in a social media statement wrote that Maradona “will always be in our hearts.”
