Michael Schumacher's Condition After Skiing Accident
F1 legend Michael Schumacher has remained out of the public eye since his severe skiing accident in December 2013, which caused catastrophic brain injuries. The German motorsport icon, aged 56 at the time, was skiing off-piste in the French Alps when he fell and hit his head on a rock, despite wearing a helmet.
He was airlifted to the hospital and placed in a medically induced coma for several months. Afterwards, Schumacher was moved to his family's home on Lake Geneva, Switzerland, where he continues to receive 24/7 medical care.
Current Health Status
Nearly 12 years later, details about Schumacher's condition are scarce. It is known that he faces significant challenges and is mostly bed-bound, unable to speak, and dependent on up to 15 carers for daily care.
Dr. Jussi Posti, a Finnish neurosurgeon following Schumacher's case, recently suggested his condition has likely stabilized since the accident.
"Based on the information available, I don't think he leads a very active life," Dr. Posti told the Finnish media outlet Iltalehti.
German broadcaster Felix Gorner added,
"He is a person... who can no longer express himself through language," describing it as "a very sad state of affairs."
Summary
Michael Schumacher remains largely out of public view with a stable but severe condition, fully reliant on intensive care more than a decade after his accident.
