Jean-Michel Baron passes away


Jean-Michel, a Dakar competitor has passed away 24 years after his accident. All this while he had been in a vegetative state. The French motorcycle racer was in coma for 24 years following a crash in the 1986 Paris-Dakar Rally.
After spending almost a quarter of a century in such a state, Jean-Michel Baron passed away at the age of 56 at his home.

Baron was just 31 years old at the time of the crash; the Frenchman spent several months in hospital before being taken home, where he survived with the help of his dedicated wife, Jocelyne.

May his soul rest in peace!
