adminMICHAEL Schumacher has not been seen or heard from for nearly nine years – and there are fears he could never fully recover from his horror ski crash.
Mystery continues to loom over the 53-year-old racing legend’s health as his family keep a tight control of what information is released to fans.
Some fear Schumacher may never be the same again after his horrendous accident in December 2013 while skiing with his son Mick in the Alps.
He fell and hit his head – suffering a brain injury which left him a medically induced coma for six months.
And since being released home, there has been few concrete updates beyond his wife Corinna admitting he is “different”.
Many of his friends have said they hope he gets better and fans constantly urge the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver to “keep fighting”.
Brain surgeon Erich Riederer believes the seven-time world champion may never fully recover from the accident, saying he was likely left in a “vegetative state”.
Speaking September 2020, the doctor – who is not directly connected with Schuey – gave his opinion on French television station TMC.
“I think he’s in a vegetative state, which means he’s awake but not responding,” he said.
“He is breathing, his heart is beating, he can probably sit up and take baby steps with help, but no more.
‘I think that’s the maximum for him. Is there any chance of seeing him like he was before his accident?
“I really don’t think so.” – The Sun.
