An initial post-mortem reveals that Dr Michael Mosley died just hours after going on his walk.

The 67-year-old was last seen setting off on a walk to the centre of the Greek island Symi on 5 June at about 1.30pm local time.

According to CCTV footage, he was spotted at a grey-stoned house nearby the harbour after leaving his wife, Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, on Agios Nikolaos beach.

Yesterday (9 June), Mosley's body was discovered in an area beside Agia Marina on Symi.

Police arrived 20 minutes after the body was discovered, with firefighters later arriving after 2pm to take the body away.

Now, according to police spokesperson Konstantia Dimoglidou, Dr Mosley's time of death was around 4pm on Wednesday (5 June), just hours after he was last seen.

The initial post-mortem found no injuries on his body that could have caused his death, which concluded that the TV doctor died of natural causes.

In a heartfelt statement via his agent, his wife Dr Clare Bailey, said: "Michael was an adventurous man, it's part of what made him so special.

"We are so grateful to the extraordinary people on Symi who have worked tirelessly to help find him.

"Some of these people on the island, who hadn't even heard of Michael, worked from dawn till dusk unasked.

"We're also very grateful to the press who have dealt with us with great respect.

"I feel so lucky to have our children and my amazing friends. Most of all, I feel so lucky to have had this life with Michael.

Tributes have been pouring in, as his Trust Me I’m A Doctor co-star Dr Saleyha Ahsan told BBC Breakfast: “The way that I got to know him on screen, that really personable accessible character that he comes across on television, that’s exactly how he was in real life and how he was with me.

“He instantly put me at ease, settled me down, and we got on with the job. And I forgot about the cameras and the lights, we just had a really good conversation.”

Sophie Laurimore, director of The Soho Agency, which represented Mosley, also said: “Michael loved what he did and found it a pleasure and a great privilege to work with his colleagues in TV, radio, publishing and at his business, The Fast 800.

“He was immensely grateful for how receptive the public were to the ideas he had the privilege to share and to the many scientists whose work he had the honour to help popularise.

“Our hearts are with Clare and the children. Michael was unique.

“The work he did was important. We will miss him dreadfully.”
