Schumacher has a joint-record seven World Drivers' Championship titles with Lewis Hamilton, and at the time of his retirement from the sport in 2012, he held the records for the most wins (91), pole positions (68), and podium finishes (155); he maintains the records for the most fastest laps (77) and the most races won in a single season (with Sebastian Vettel) (13), amongst others.
The accident
On 29 December 2013, Schumacher was skiing with his then-14-year-old son Mick, descending the Combe de Saulire below the Dent de Burgin above Méribel in the French Alps. While crossing an unsecured off-piste area between Piste Chamois and Piste Mauduit, he fell and hit his head on a rock, sustaining a serious head injury despite wearing a ski helmet. According to his physicians, he would most likely have died if he had not been wearing a helmet. He was airlifted to Grenoble Hospital where he underwent two surgical interventions. Schumacher was put into a medically induced coma because of traumatic brain injury.
The photo taken
In December 2016, media outlets in Europe were reportedly offered the chance to publish the first pictures of the German icon since his fateful accident. It has been told that a paparazzi was able to enter his residence in Geneva and upon entering his mansion, he managed to take a photo of the atrophied body of the former Formula 1 driver.
German prosecutors confirmed that an uknown person was able to take "secret" pictures and was ready to sell them for 1 million dollars to media outlets to get the first images of an injured Michael Schumacher.
Because of this, an investigation was open, the prosecutors were quick to denounce the event as a "violation of his personal privacy and fight for his life".
Availability
Even though the existence of the photo was confirmed. This has not been shown to the public due to the reward they offer for her and because of the police persecution that is being done for it. It is also unknown if the alleged paparazzi who took the image took only one or several photos. And due to the privacy of Michael Schumacher's family, it is highly unlikely that the photo will ever come to light.
