FRANKFURT, Germany - A bodyguard for seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher was among those killed in the tsunami disaster.

Burkhard Cramer died in Phuket, Thailand, Schumacher spokeswoman Sabine Kehm said Wednesday. Cramer’s two sons also are believed to have died.

On Tuesday, Schumacher’s manager said the German, who drives for Ferrari, pledged $10 million to victims of the Asian disaster. Willi Weber said a decision on allocation of the funds will be made in the next few days, after consultation with the German Foreign Ministry.
