Soccer legend Diego Maradona has died after suffering cardiac arrest, Argentinian media reports.

The 60-year-old had undergone an operation earlier this month for a blood clot in his brain.

Maradona had been admitted to hospital three times in the last 20 years for serious health issues — two of which were potentially fatal — due to his drug and alcohol addictions.
