When the media revved up on Michael Schumacher's condition

BeritaON - Monday morning, the rumor swells on some information and social networking websites: Michael Schumacher would not last for a few hours. The source of these alarming reports, a neurosurgeon who cared for the German driver suffered a skiing accident December 29, 2013 in Meribel. "It weighs more than 45 kilos and only a miracle can keep it alive, deplores the specialist. You just wait. It's a matter of hours. "The doctor would have said, on condition of anonymity course, this weekend to an American site, News Every Day, specialized in" hot information ".

Except that section where this appears source internedate April 26 and there is no representation of the famous doctor. The journalist wrote that only neurosurgeon found that the pilot had now need a miracle to survive. Three days later, another article in the same siterapporte the progress of the pilot are slow but that her family always hope for a miracle. Ironically, the article cites another site, BitBag, and when you go on it, it returns us ... News Every Day.

For the sake of caution, communication around the pilot was locked after the accident (she was already partially in his career). Last March, in the German daily Süddeutsche Zeitung, Sabine Kehm, Schumacher's manager, explained the reasons for the organized silence: "For the moment, I see no alternative. Each word is a signal for more news. Before his accident, Michael already kept his private life. We can not answer the question of his health in a few sentences. This is an ongoing process. "But this strategy has its limits, and gives free rein to fantasies.
