Michael Schumacher health condition latest news: F1 legend's wife upset over death hoax circulating online; Schumacher still unable to walk

Rumors about F1 racing champion Michael Schumacher's death is currently making the rounds online, and his wife Corrina is reportedly upset about the false and misleading stories.

Years after Michael Schumacher's skiing accident in the Alps rendered him incapacitated, fans are still waiting for a definitive statement on the F1 racer's current health condition. Schumacher's family decided to keep him away from the public eye during his recovery, but misleading stories claiming that the racing icon has died recently surfaced online.

According to reports, the made-up stories about Schumacher's passing has rattled his wife so much that she was compelled to release a statement clarifying her husband is still alive. Corinna also said that the false death reports were unfair to her husband and their entire family. To date, Schumacher remains in his Geneva residence as he recuperates with the assistance of a group of private medical professionals.

Last month, Schumacher's family filed a case against a German magazine claiming that the racing champion can walk again. The Guardian notes that Bunte is currently facing charges after it quoted an unnamed source that Schumacher was able to walk "a couple of steps" following his skiing accident in December 2013. For the uninitiated, Schumacher spent six months in a coma before being moved to recover in his house in Switzerland.

Schumacher retired before the accident, but his son is certainly following his footsteps in the Formula One scene. Mick Schumacher, 17, recently enjoyed a successful season in Germany's ADAC Formula 4 championship. In an interview after he won the last race of the season, the young Schumacher seems to be determined to continue his father's legacy. "I think Formula Three would be the logical step. I just try to learn over the years," he said.
