An employee of a funeral parlour has been fired for exposing Diego Maradona’s body in an open casket.

The worker, known as Diego Molino was fired for the action which involves two other employees also part of the act.

Marca revealed that a private apology has been sent to Maradona’s family yet investigations have been opened to know the reason behind the act and if possible, put offenders behind bars for their actions.

The viral image angered the lawyer of the Argentine football icon as he assures to let the law take its cause.

"Given the viral nature of an image of Diego on his deathbed, I'm going to personally try and find the scoundrel that took the photograph," Matias Morla explained.

"All those responsible for such an act of cowardice are going to pay."

After knowing the identity of the person who worked in the parlour, he reacted to let Molina face the consequences of the law.

"Diego Molina is a scoundrel who took a photo next to Diego Maradona's coffin," Morla exclaimed. For the memory of my friend, I will not rest until you pay for such an act."

The manager of the Sepelious Pinier funeral Parlour Diego Picon says the three people involved in the snap are not workers of the home but were hired to help transport the body to Argentina’s presidential palace Casa Rosada for the final funeral rite, speaking to TN.

‘My father is 75 years old and he is crying, I am crying, my brother too, we are destroyed,’ Picon told TN. ‘He [Molina] is not an employee here, he is a third party who only helped us load the coffin because it weighs a lot. The family chose a cedar [wood] box that is very difficult to transport and that is why we summoned him, just to carry the box.

‘The three outsourced employees that we called and appear in the images, we took away their mobile phones in the morgue. ‘We gave them back when all the work had been finished and at that moment, which was when the police called me to organise the transfer, that’s when they did it.’
