ZURICH (Reuters) - A man suspected of leaking Formula One champion Michael Schumacher's medical files has been found hanged in his police cell, Zurich's cantonal prosecutor said in a statement.

The man, who was not named, worked as a manager at Swiss air rescue service Rega, which was involved in Schumacher's transfer from Grenoble hospital to University Hospital of Lausanne (CHUV) on June 16 after he emerged from a coma.
