Grenoble's hospital on Thursday denied a rumor circulating on Twitter that the seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher has died, however, which did not prevent dozens of journalists from gathering there to gather more information.
"The hospital denies that the Michael Schumacher he died, "said one representative at the French Agency.
The German pilot, aged 45 years, is hospitalized in Grenoble after his serious head injury while skiing at the Meribel Ski Center on Dec. 29.
The reputation for his death began from Twitter and spread very quickly to the media.
Early on Thursday afternoon, at least five television crews had cameras outside the hospital waiting for newer information.
Many rumors of this type have been circulating in recent weeks, after the accident, but all have been disproved.
Doctors at Grenoble hospital have started the process to wake Michael Schumacher from the induced coma, but this process may take a long time space, his representative, Sabine Kem, said last week.
