“There was a group of Gymnastics brave bars that planned to break in and extract (Maradona’s) heart. That did not come to fruition because it was an act of enormous audacity. It was detected that this was going to happen so his heart was also extracted to study it because his heart was very important in determining the cause of Maradona’s death. Obviously the information is that he is buried without a heart“, he pointed.
