His former doctor said he had “some damage”, but that it “wasn’t alarming.”

“Diego was very well, he had a heart which had some damage, but surgery could not be carried out. Two months beforehand, he had had an ECG. We always tried to observe whether there was anything, but the heart issues were more because of his past. It was nothing alarming,” he explained.

“A pulmonary edema secondary to heart failure” was the official cause of death after the autopsy was carried out.
