Argentina football superstar Diego Maradona’s daughter Gianinna became unwell and had to be assisted by a doctor after images of her father’s autopsy were shown in the latest hearing in the trial over the former footballer’s death.

Tensions ran high during Thursday’s hearing, with several arguments between the defense lawyers and the judges. 

The session had to be halted after the defense of Maradona’s main medical advisor, Leopoldo Luque — one of the main accused of negligence over the star’s death — played a clip from the autopsy, which forced Gianinna to exit the room.

The hearings started with the testimony of Mario Schiter, the doctor who treated Maradona as he recovered from his drug addiction and a heart attack in Cuba in 2000. He later acted as an overseer during his autopsy.
