Brain specialist warns, Schumacher may never wake up

A brain injury specialist has said that Michael Schumacher will be a completely different person, should he survive the severe head injuries he suffered in a skiing accident in December, admitting that “he will not be Michael Schumacher.”

The seven-time Formula One world champion is currently being treated in Grenoble University Hospital for brain injuries he suffered in an accident, while skiing off-piste in Meribel in the French Alps.

Doctors in France have begun tests on the 45-year-old German, who has been in an artificially induced coma for over two weeks following the tragic accident. Schumacher struck his head on a rock that left his helmet split in two, and has subsequently undergone two operations to relieve swelling of his brain and remove haematomas.
