Michael Schumacher’s wife, Corinna, has lived “like a prisoner” for the last decade while keeping his condition private, according to family friend, Eddie Jordan.
Schumacher, a Ferrari racing legend, has not been seen publicly since he suffered a severe brain injury during a skiing accident in Switzerland in 2013 — and his family has kept his recovery extremely private.
The German racer was placed in a medically induced coma and later moved to the family’s Lake Geneva home, where Corinna cares for him with help from a medical team.
