Former Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher is no longer in a coma and has left the Grenoble hospital where he has been treated since a skiing accident in the Alps five months ago, his spokeswoman said on Monday.
"Michael has left the CHU Grenoble [hospital] to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore," his spokeswoman, Sabine Kehm, said in a statement. She did not indicate where he had been transferred to.
The announcement came after a German magazine, Bunte, reported last Friday that the 45-year old champion had been moved from the Grenoble hospital's intensive care department, where he had been in a medically induced coma, into a rehabilitation unit. The magazine reported that Schumacher was "out of danger", although his chances of a full recovery had diminished. It said that preparations were under way to move him to a specialised rehabilitation clinic.
