READ MORE:. READ MORE:Tragic details of Dr Michael Mosley's trek across the mountains in the merciless sun have been revealed - as questions grow over how rescuers missed him during a five-day search.
Dr Mosley was found at around 10.30am yesterday by a restaurant manager at Agia Marina. Ilias Tsavaris, 38, said he was alerted by the restaurant's owners who had received a call from Symi's mayor. Another staff member said: 'How we missed him is a mystery. He was in distress suffering from exhaustion but nobody saw him. This is heartbreaking.'
His wife Dr Clare Bailey had waved him off after they had spent the morning at the idyllic beach with friends after arriving just the day before for a week's holiday. The walk from St Nicholas to Pedi is about one and a half miles and took Dr Mosley no more than 15 minutes, with him spotted by CCTV at several points as he walked down the waterfront.
Two security staff looking out on to a high-speed inflatable boat caught him as he walked past and made his way to the start of the trail to Agia Marina.

It appeared the Mail columnist had walked around the perimeter of the beach bar at Agia Marina and was heading towards the sea. Sophie Laurimore, director of The Soho Agency, which represented Dr Michael Mosley, described him as a 'wise, wonderful and lovely man'.
'Our hearts are with Clare and the children. Michael was unique. The work he did was important. We will miss him dreadfully.'

Customers continued ordering lunch while others swam or played beach volleyball as forensic teams and emergency services set about their grim task.

Dr Mosley's wife Clare Bailey, who shares four children with the TV doctor, said: 'I don't know quite where to begin with this. It's devastating to have lost Michael, my wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband. 'My family and I have been hugely comforted by the outpouring of love from people from around the world.
