Prosecutors say his death was due to 'omissions' by his caregivers who abandoned him 'to his fate' during home hospitalisation.

He insists it was the doctors treating Maradona while he recovered from the brain operation, not his client, who were to blame for the football legend's death.

Investigators are trying to determine if any of the five people who had Maradona in their care were in any way negligent.

The autopsy was ordered as part of an investigation into Maradona's death to see if there was any negligence or recklessness in the health care he was provided.

Maradona will forever be remembered for his 'Hand of God' goal against England in the 1986 World Cup quarter-final in Mexico City.
