He hit his head on a rock, causing him a serious brain injury.

He had been in a coma for a few months, and after regaining his consciousness, he was reportedly undergoing some medical treatment in their home in Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Since then, the family have decided to keep everything in private during his recovery.
