Maradona’s demise caused a global stir, but in the midst of the tributes made in Argentina, a photo of the footballer’s corpse has gone viral and caused public outrage.
Three employees of the funeral home, in which the soccer legend was veiled , cared little for respect, went ahead to open the coffin and took a picture with Maradona’s corpse where one poses with a thumbs up’ sign and touches the footballer’s forehead.
They have since been fired with Maradona’s lawyer and friend posting a message on social media: “Diego Molina is the scoundrel who took a photo next to Diego Maradona’s coffin. For the memory of my friend I will not rest until I pay for such an aberration.”
