F1 Legend Michael Schumacher Declared Brain Dead

Four months have passed since Formula One (F1) Racing Champion Michael Schumacher has been put in a medically induced coma after his December traumatic skiing crash.

Initial report said he can now move in a way and showing some signs he may have the chance of emerging from the coma. The athlete recently became the subject of a Twitter hoax quickly spreading over the popular social networking Web site.

A Twitter user named @HenryWyatt posted a tweet saying Schumacher has died. The same person tweeted a series of pictures with what looked like a link to newspaper articles from Metro and CNN citing Schumacher was officially declared brain dead then eventually passing away.

But neither Metro nor CNN have the story. It certainly seemed a little dubious because the alleged news articles on Schumacher's death were nowhere to be found online.
