I couldn't walk or do anything." It was a "very hard road" for him, he couldn't remember the time in the coma anymore. "Fortunately, I'm sitting here again today. I can do everything I want and even work," Plathe proudly says, who recently stood in front of the camera again for a new "Usedom-Crime".
