British TV Presenter Michael Mosley Discovered Deceased on Greek Island

Mosley, 67, had been missing since Wednesday after embarking on a solo walk along a coastal path in extreme heat.

Athens: British TV presenter and advocate for healthy living, Michael Mosley, was found deceased on the Greek island of Symi, the island's deputy mayor informed Reuters on Sunday.

Mosley, 67, had been missing since Wednesday after setting off for a walk alone along a coastal path in intense heat.

Earlier, police spokeswoman Constantina Dimoglidou stated that a body, believed to be Mosley's, had been discovered in the Agia Marina area, though official identification was still pending.

"The mayor of the island and a state TV ERT journalist were filming in the Agia Marina area when they discovered the body," deputy mayor Nikitas Grillis reported. "There is no doubt it is him."

Another police official clarified that the body was found on rocky terrain near the sea, contradicting earlier reports suggesting it was located in a cave. The police are continuing their investigation of the scene.

Mosley, who was visiting the island with his wife, was last seen alive at 1:30 p.m. (1030 GMT) on Wednesday.

He went missing after embarking on a walk along a rocky coastal path from Agios Nikolaos beach to the village of Pedi, prompting a search operation.
