While Michael Schumacher was at the height of his glory as a Formula 1 driver, the dream came to an abrupt end after a serious skiing accident in 2013. During his fall, he hit his head on a rock, which causes significant head trauma. After two surgeries, doctors were forced to put him in an artificial coma for more than six months. Since that day, the motorsport icon has disappeared from the radar and remains behind the media and the cameras. Now paralyzed, no photo of him has been released since the accident and Michael Schumacher seems determined not to reveal anything about his life today. But on September 29, some rumors claim that he made an appearance at the wedding of his daughter Gina which took place during an intimate ceremony, in the villa of the pilot’s family, in Majorca.
But where is his health? According to the Daily Sportsfor years, only his relatives and a few personalities from the world of sport were allowed to visit him. The head of the neurosurgery and brain injury department at Turku University Hospital in Finland says it is likely that the athlete spends the majority of his time surrounded by a team providing care. “If they built a hospital at his home, where everything around him is equipped with medical technology, it is likely that he spends most of his time in that hospital,” declares the doctor Daily Sports. “Usually, patients recover from such injuries within two years, and after that the level of recovery usually plateaus. In fact, patients like Schumacher are, at best, experimental cases.”
