READ MORE:. Claire Bailey paid tribute to herCCTV footage has revealed how Dr Michael Mosley was agonisingly close to safety as he walked up a treacherous mountain then stumbled, before his body was found just 260ft from a holiday resort.
In the footage a customer is shown walking past the kiosk who could potentially have heard had there been any shout for help.The resort of Agia Marina, the location where a body was found - now confirmed as Dr MosleyA coroner has now said an initial examination had ruled out foul play as there were 'no obvious injuries' to Dr Mosley's body - yet further tests would have to be carried out at a hospital in Rhodes to firmly establish the cause of death.
Dr Mosley's body was discovered in a rocky area beside Agia Marina today after an extensive search operation led by emergency workers, around 30 minutes walk from the village of Pedi where Dr Mosley was last seen. 'My family and I have been hugely comforted by the outpouring of love from people from around the world. It's clear that Michael meant a huge amount to so many of you.Dr Mosley with his wife Clare on their wedding day in 1987 nearly 40 years ago'We're taking comfort in the fact that he so very nearly made it. He did an incredible climb, took the wrong route and collapsed where he couldn't be easily seen by the extensive search team.
Ted Verity, Editor of Mail Newspapers, said: 'Everyone at the Mail is absolutely devastated to hear of the death of Dr Michael Mosley.'Since he first wrote for us in 2011, we have published hundreds of his weekly columns and serialised many of his best-selling books - from the ground-breaking fast diets to others on gut health and sleep.
In a tribute to her husband, Dr Bailey said: 'It's devastating to have lost Michael, my wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband' 'From his ground-breaking book, The Fast Diet, in 2013 to his most recent life-changing book Just One Thing in 2022, it has been a joy, a pleasure and a privilege to work closely with him on his bestselling books that have changed millions of people's lives for the better.
It was then taken down to a jetty and loaded onto a small white tender and taken away to a mortuary on the island of Rhodes for a postmortem. Temperatures at the time were around 37c and though he had a bottle of water with him the heat would have made it incredibly difficult. At the time of his disappearance there was an excessive heat warning from the Greek Meteorological office, with temperatures predicted to hit a blistering 38c - unusual for early June.
He then called the beach restaurant and alerted staff who rushed over towards what he had seen with a group of British journalists who had remained behind.Mayor of Syimi Eleftherios Papakalodouka who alerted the beach resort manager after he thought he saw something 'unusual' from the seaFirefighters on a beach during a search for Dr Mosley yesterday on the Greek island of Symi
'I was sent up there and as I turned the fence to go up I saw a glint from a watch and I then I saw the body at the same time.' The medic was seen leaving Saint Nicholas beach towards the town of Pedi, via a rocky path with steep sections.Police believed Dr Mosley was likely hiking towards the town of Symi, due west of Pedi, but took a wrong turn and ended up on a 'dangerous' mountain path heading north.

He had left his phone at their friends' home, and when Dr Bailey and the couple returned to the property, they found that Dr Mosley had not returned and his mobile was where he left it.
Mr Papakalodoukas added: 'The British broadcaster has come for holiday with his wife and is being hosted by a couple of their friends on our island. We know he had gone for a swim... but because he likes hiking and the area, he would walk back. He married Clare Bailey in 1987, after meeting in medical school, and they had four children together.
His sense of adventure and unquenchable scientific curiosity sometimes led him to put himself in danger by accident, although - as yet - there is no way of knowing if this irrepressible side to his character contributed in any way to his disappearance. 'I got a thorough examination and the consultant said: 'You have something called transient global amnesia, which is relatively rare — but it's brought on by swimming in cold water.'
His book The Fast Diet, co-written with journalist Mimi Spencer and published in 2012, recommended a stringent regime on two days a week, with just 600 calories for men and 500 for women.Celebrities who adopted it reported astonishing results. The US comedian Jimmy Kimmel shed 25 lb in a few months. Actor Benedict Cumberbatch used the method to achieve his hollow-cheeked look for the BBC1 drama Sherlock.
The programme, shown as part of BBC2's documentary series Horizon, featured interviews with experts such as Professor Valter Longo from the University of Southern California and Dr Krista Varady from the University of Illinois. He refined the diet, raising the calorie limit to 800 on fast days, and urging people to go 14 hours a day without eating — having an evening meal at 6 pm, for example, and then fasting until breakfast at 8 am. For those who needed a crash diet, he recommended 800 calories every day for weeks or even months.
Long hours of wakefulness and a natural inclination to philosophy forced him to confront life's toughest questions. Filming a segment on the physiology of fear for one among his dozens of shows, he defied his claustrophobia by going caving — and became wedged in a crack in the rocks.
