Diego Maradona’s lawyer has called for a full investigation<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0into the circumstances of the football legend\u2019s death, criticising what he said was a slow response by emergency services.<\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of Argentines have taken to the streets to bid farewell to Maradona, whose casket lay in state at the Casa Rosada presidential palace in Buenos Aires draped in an Argentine flag and his famous No.10 shirt.<\/p>\n

But in the aftermath, the football legend\u2019s lawyer and long-time doctor have both lashed out over the circumstances surrounding his death.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Matias Morla blasted first responders in a brutal statement released on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is a day of deep pain, sadness and reflection,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel in my heart the departure of a friend whom I honoured with my loyalty and companionship until his last days. I made my farewell with him in person and the wake should be an intimate occasion.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is inexplicable that for 12 hours my friend has not had attention or control from the legal health personnel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ambulance took more than half an hour to arrive, which was CRIMINAL IDIOCY.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis fact should not be overlooked and I am going to ask that the consequences be investigated until the end. As Diego said, \u2018You are my soldier, act without mercy\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doctor Alfredo Cahe also questioned why Maradona was transferred from hospital to his home after undergoing brain surgery two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiego wasn\u2019t looked after as he should have been,\u201d Cahe told news show Telefe Noticias.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe should have been kept in hospital, not taken to a house which wasn\u2019t properly prepared.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in a state of complete shock. I\u2019ve had so many ups and downs with Diego for 33 years and he\u2019s just died in an unusual way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a lot of doubts. I don\u2019t know why he was taken to that house.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he left hospital it didn\u2019t seem logical to me. He should have stayed in a place with a good infrastructure, like when we took him to Cuba.\u201d<\/p>\n

Argentina in mourning over Maradona\u2019s death<\/h2>\n

Three days of national mourning have been called for the player who led Argentina to a 1986 World Cup win and is revered with cult-like status.<\/p>\n

The star\u2019s family is hoping to hold the burial on Thursday evening at the Bella Vista cemetery on the outskirts of Buenos Aires where his parents are also interred, a government source said.<\/p>\n

A cemetery source confirmed that the burial had been scheduled for 6pm local time, but said it could also be delayed to Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Early on Thursday, thousands of fans had already formed a snaking line through the streets near the central Plaza de Mayo after a night of mourning and reminiscing.<\/p>\n

Some scuffles broke out as some tried to get inside the palace to see their hero\u2019s casket.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaradona for me is the greatest thing that happened to me in life,\u201d Cristian Montelli, 22, a fan of the star’s former club Boca Juniors said with tears in his eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love him as much as my father and it’s like my old man died.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I die young, hopefully upstairs I can play ball and watch a Boca game with him,\u201d added Montelli, who has a tattoo of Maradona\u2019s face on his leg.<\/p>\n
