F1 world champion Michael Schumacher Tuesday returned home 254 days after a severe skiing accident in the Alps that left him in coma.
The 44-year-old had suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and 'severe head coma' after hitting a rock while skiing in the Swiss Alps last year December. He was immediately taken by a helicopter to a hospital in Moutiers, Savoie. Later in the day, he was transferred to the University Hospital Center of Grenoble.
According to the doctors he was in a critical condition after suffering traumatic brain injuries (TBI) that involved skull fracture, internal bleeding, loss of consciousness. It was believed that would spend the rest of his life in a vegetative state. However, Schumacher showed signs of recovery and has now returned to his family home at Gland, way prior to his scheduled discharge. The doctors were expecting him to return home by Christmas.
