The accident occurred while Schumacher was skiing in Méribel, where he fell and hit a rock, causing his helmet to shatter. Despite being conscious at first, his condition quickly deteriorated, leading to his emergency transfer to a hospital in Grenoble. There, Schumacher was placed in an induced coma, which helped stabilize his condition, though he was still not out of danger.
Since then, updates on his health have been scarce. The media and paparazzi have been unable to obtain any substantial information, as his family and close associates, including his former boss Jean Todt, have kept details tightly controlled. Schumacher was eventually moved to a hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland, before returning to his home by Lake Geneva, but still, little information has been released.
Speculation about his condition and the financial strain on his family has circulated, but these rumors have been denied. Even a documentary on Netflix about Schumacher offered limited insight into his current state. His wife, Corinna, has said that the family is doing everything they can to care for him and make him comfortable, emphasizing that they are now protecting him as he once protected them.
His brother, Ralf Schumacher, recently shared memories of their time together, reflecting on their close bond and shared experiences in Formula 1. However, like the rest of the family, he did not reveal any details about Michael’s health. The condition of the seven-time world champion remains a mystery to the public.
