Argentine police have searched the home and office of one of Diego Maradona’s doctors, taking away medical records as part of investigations into the death of the 60-year-old football star. Neurologist Leopoldo Luque told reporters after the searches that he had given investigators all of the records of his treatment of Maradona, as well as computers, hard drives and mobile phones. Tens of thousands of crying fans lined up to file past Maradona’s coffin, with lay in state at the presidential palace, before his burial on Thursday. Maradona had suffered a series of medical problems, some due to excesses of drugs and alcohol. Mr Luque said he was a difficult patient and had kicked the doctor out of his house several times.
