In an interview with German media outlet , Damm explained why the Schum﷽acher family opted not to release a “final report” about Michael’s health.

“It was alway🌼s about protecting private things,” he said. “We considered whether a final report about Michael’s health could be the right way to do this.

“But that wou🌳ldn’t have been the end of it and there would have had to be constantly updated ‘water level reports’ and it would not have been up to the family when the media interest in the story stopped.”

Damm believes had the report been released, the family would have been put under more scrutiny🎃 and pressure to share further upda🎃tes as time progressed.

“They [the media] could pick up on such a report again and again and as ‘and what does it look like now?’ one, two, three months or years after the message,” he added. “If we then wanted to take action against this reporting, we would ha🌄ve to deal with the argument of voluntary self-disclosure.

“If it is not the person concerned himself꧙ but friends or acquaintances who disclose private information, it is not a case of ‘voluntary self-disclosure’ of pr🍨ivacy.

“Therefore, the d🦹ata subject can defend himself against dis꧂closure of private circumstances even if the information comes from an acquaintance.”
