Report: Argentina Legend Diego Maradona Dies at 60

Diego Maradona died of a heart attack in his home on Wednesday, according to multiple reports. He was 60 years old.

Maradona underwent surgery to remove a blood clot on his brain on Nov. 4. He was released from the hospital eight days later and began to rehab in his home.

Maradona is one of the most decorated stars in soccer history. He tallied 259 career goals in nearly two decades of club competition and recorded 34 goals in 91 caps for the Argentina national team.

Maradona is perhaps best known for his pair of goals in the 1986 World Cup final as Argentina defeated West Germany.
