Everyone knows Michael Schumacher as the seven-time Formula 1 champion who was “invincible on the track” but the legend had fallen while on a skiing trip and suffered a severe head injury. This incident took place in late December 2013, and Schumacher was on a medically induced coma ever since but recently he roused and been transferred to a rehab centre. The news is out that his medical records have been stolen and are supposedly being offered for sale somewhere on the internet.
Daily Mail UK was the first one to break the news of this theft by quoting Sabine Kehm, Schumacher’s manager, stating that those documents have been up for sale “for several days” now. She further added that they are unable to judge the authenticity of these documents offered, but one thing they are certain of is that the documents were stolen for sure. They have reported the theft at will, and now the authorities are involved and investigating the matter.
It has been made clear by Kehm that they will take swift legal action against anyone who either purchase or publish the private information of the champ, and the seller/perpetrators who contributed to this illegal act by any means.
It still hasn’t been confirmed where the records were stolen from, whether it was the hospital in Grenoble where Schumacher first stayed for the initial treatment, the rehabilitation facility in Lausanne Switzerland, where he was transferred not very long ago for rehab sessions, or it is from somewhere unknown.
It has also been stated that regardless of what others say about Schumacher’s condition, he is still unable to walk or talk, continues to slip in an out of consciousness every-now-and-then. Schumacher was said to have communicated by nodding his head to the medical team during his transfer to rehab facility in the Switzerland.
