F1 legend Michael Schumacher 'out of coma'

(BBC) F1 champion Michael Schumacher has left hospital in Grenoble and is no longer in a coma, his family says.


The 45-year-old German will continue his rehabilitation at an undisclosed location, they said in a statement.

Schumacher was placed in a medically induced coma after suffering a severe head injury in a skiing accident in the French Alps on 29 December.

His family thanked people who had sent messages of support, saying: "We are sure it helped him."

Although German, not that much into F1. But the donation he made after the tsunami was extraordanary. Obviously he was really moved, which I found very impressive. So, great news. All the best to him.

Hate to say it, but the experts commenting some months ago said that basically, if he's been in a coma this long he's almost certainly going to be a vegetable. Might be a miracle but there are few precedent cases of people recovering from weeks or months in a coma.

They may have been confused by coma vs medically induced coma

Schumacher never slipped into a coma but was medically induced into a coma

to decrease brain swelling, and the doctors operated to remove blood clots...afaik

In any case lets hope for the best

The press statement only speaks of a "long phase of rehabilitation". So, obviously there is something left to "rehabilitate", but who can say how much?

The silence from his family speaks volumes.

He's breathing, but, other than that there's not a lot going on.

Very sad, indeed.

Live for the day, my friends, live for the day.
