Luque argues the player's death was not foreseeable, rejecting the prosecution's argument that his death was a foreseeable consequence of his medical treatment. The evidence suggests a legal battle where Luque's defense team is being labeled as the primary suspect despite the lack of direct causal evidence linking his death to the treatment.
