DIEGO Maradona died in his sleep and lay undiscovered for up to eight hours, a medical board will tell prosecutors.
The World Cup-winner, 60, was declared dead at 1.15pm on November 25 after a 45-minute attempt to revive him.
His doctor Leopoldo Luque had called for an ambulance at midday.
But experts preparing a report for prosecutors heading a manslaughter probe put the time of his death at between 4am and 6am, reports say.
The 20-strong medical board is also set to confirm his death was caused by a pre-existing heart disease that was not being treated properly.
Argentinian media claims the board will call the former Barcelona star’s care following a brain blood clot op “negligent and incompetent”.
Dr Luque is among seven people under investigation.
He denies any wrongdoing.
