Schumacher Medical Files Theft Suspect Found Hanged


A man arrested this week suspected of involvement in the theft and leaking of a medical file on injured ex-Formula One champion Michael Schumacher was found hanged in his cell Wednesday, prosecutors said. AFP reports.

The man, whose identity was not disclosed, worked as an executive at a Swiss helicopter air rescue company, Rega, which organised the German sportsman's transport from a French hospital to Switzerland in June, the Zurich prosecutor's office said in a statement.  

The man, arrested Tuesday and interrogated by police, had denied any wrongdoing. He was being detained in a Zurich police holding cell, the statement said.
