Diego Maradona died at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack, according to reports in his native Argentina.

The soccer legend had a heart attack at his home just two weeks after leaving the hospital where he underwent stroke surgery.

Maradona left the hospital on November 11, just eight days after he was admitted for emergency brain surgery.

The famous ex-football player was banished from Olivos’ private clinic just before 6pm on Wednesday as hundreds of paparazzi fans tried to catch a glimpse of him.

Maradona, considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, helped Argentina win the World Cup in 1986, the culmination of a famous career.

Maradona

My heart breaks … it was way too early. He had just turned 60.

A brilliant wizard on the field, a socialist who loves Che Guevara, and a rival to corrupt football watchers.

1st goal in 1986 still painful; But the second one was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Rest in peace Diego Maradona. A troubled man but with a ball at his feet, he’s an absolute genius. pic.twitter.com/YEhvwSOtD4
