ATHENS/SYMI, (Greece): British TV presenter and healthy living advocate Michael Mosley has been found dead in a rocky area on the Greek island of Symi, just metres away from his destination, local mayors told Reuters on Sunday.
Mosley, 67, had been missing since Wednesday after he went for a walk alone along a coastal path in searing heat.
“It is certainly him,” said deputy mayor Nikitas Grillis, pending formal identification.
Police spokeswoman Constantina Dimoglidou earlier said that the body of a person believed to be Mosley had been found in the area of Agia Marina, north of the village of Pedi and opposite the northeast beach of Agios Nikolaos where Mosley set out for his walk.
Another police official said his body had been found on rocky terrain, close to the sea.
Symi Mayor Lefteris Papakalodoukas said the discovery was made after he and others, including state ERT TV journalists, were filming the area from a vessel.
“We analysed the recorded evidence and it was obvious that it was, unfortunately, Mosley,” Papakalodoukas said.
“He was found 10 metres away from the sea, 10-15 metres from his destination, the beach of Agia Marina, between a fence and a path.”
State TV ERT reported that he was found lying face up with his head on a rock.
“It is unclear if he had an accident or if he felt unwell,” Papakalodoukas said.
