Michael Schumacher: 'Journalist dressed as priest tried to sneak into former F1 champion's hospital

A news reporter dressed up as a priest to attempt to gain access to Michael Schumacher’s hospital room where he is currently battling for his life after a skiing accident, the Formula One champion’s manager Sabine Kehm revealed.

Schumacher fell while skiing in the Meribel region in the French Alps, suffering a heavy impact on his head when he hit a rock that has led to two operations in an attempt to save his life by reducing the pressure on his brain that is being caused by swelling. Doctors announced on Tuesday morning that he had displayed a “slight improvement” after the decision was made to operate in a “window of opportunity” on Monday night.

However, Schumacher is not yet guaranteed to survive as doctors stressed he remains in a critical condition.

It seems that one reporter has made the startling decision though to ignore the wishes of both Kehm and the doctors to respect the Schumacher family’s privacy in what is a desperate time.
