Argentine soccer player Diego Maradona signed a document on October 13th allowing the launch of the “Maradona Universe” project, a museum that houses his mummified body, greatest trophies, personal items and cherished souvenirs.
Argentine newspaper, “Bachina 12”, said that Maradona signed an agreement 40 days before his death to mummify his body and display it in a museum with all the prizes, shirts and things he collected in his career, as he wanted to imitate Vladimir Lenin, which is the mausoleum where Lenin’s mummified body has been lying since his death a year ago. 1924, and Maradona wanted to launch the name Maradona Universe on the museum, which includes many of his possessions.
The newspaper said that Maradona told Matthias Morla’s lawyer that he wanted his body to be embalmed, so that the world would remember him after his death and remain among the people, and he told him: “I want to express my will that after my death my body will be embalmed and displayed in a museum surrounded by the most important prizes and my personal items and fond memories to continue. Receive people’s love from here. “
The attorneys consulted by this newspaper, experts in proving the validity of wills, considered that the document was not signed in front of a notary or with witnesses, nor was it handwritten, which are necessary conditions for legal authorization. So it remains just a desire, a kind of moral mandate, which the heirs may or may not fulfill.
