Schumacher: "please respect the family’s privacy"
In late morning, Sabrine Kehm, Michael Schumacher's agent, provided a new update on the health status of the seven-time German world champion, still in a "critical but stable condition." She also wanted to clarify some statements that have appeared in the media in recent days.
It was perhaps time to set the record straight, following numerous revelations made by various media outlets in recent days. Sabrine Kehm felt the need to communicate this morning, as if to satisfy the expectations of the hundreds of journalists who have been waiting outside the Grenoble University Hospital since Sunday, December 29, the date of Michael Schumacher’s skiing accident.
Critical but stable condition
The situation has not changed since Tuesday, the date of the last press conference held by doctors at the University Hospital of Grenoble, where Michael Schumacher is hospitalized. Jacqueline Hubert, the general director of the University Hospital, announced on Tuesday, December 31st, that there would not be daily press briefings, but rather only in the case of updates to share. Therefore, patience is advised. Sabine Kehm also indicated, in agreement with the doctors treating Michael at the University Hospital of Grenoble, that no press conference is planned before Monday. She emphasized: We also insist that any information about his health not coming from his doctors or the hospital’s management should be considered void and pure speculation.
Clarifications on the camera
The latest revelations report that a GoPro camera might have been mounted on Michael Schumacher’s helmet at the time of the accident. While not hiding its existence, Sabine Kehm informs that it was given voluntarily by the family to the investigators and that the rumors suggesting they were forced to do so are incorrect.
« Only Michael’s health matters to his family, she stressed, before concluding: « we ask that you respect their privacy.
