Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher 's health condition has been surrounded by secrecy for a decade following a skiing accident .
READ MORE: Michael Schumacher 'seen in public for first time in 11 years' at daughter Gina's wedding His wife Corinna has cared for him alongside a team of medics. She has allowed only a select few trusted friends and relatives to visit him and only a handful of people are said to know the details of his condition and care. Since little is known about Michael's true condition and recovery, here is a timeline of his accident...
He fell and collided with another rock 10 meters away, striking his head. His helmet was cracked in two by the impact and was initially conscious. Michael, who was 44 at the time, was unable to answer questions coherently and displayed 'erratic' behaviour. Medics called for an air extraction as he was airlifted to hospital at Moutiers, before being transferred to a specialist trauma unit in Grenoble.
How is Michael now? The sports icon started his process of waking up from his coma in January 2014. It took until April that year for an update on his condition, as his long-time press officer stated he had been showing some signs of “consciousness and awakening”. Two months later, it was confirmed Michael was no longer in a coma and left hospital.
Michael's press officer said: “Unfortunately, we are forced by a recent press report to clarify that the assertion that Michael could move again is not true. Such speculation is irresponsible because, given the seriousness of his injuries, his privacy is very important for Michael. Unfortunately, they also give false hopes to many involved people.”
Family's thoughts In the Netflix series Schumacher, Corinna said: “Michael is here. Different, but he’s here, and that gives us strength, I find. We’re together. We live together at home. We do therapy. We do everything we can to make Michael better and to make sure he’s comfortable. And to simply make him feel our family, our bond.
