A body believed to be that of missing British doctor and TV presenter Michael Mosley was found Sunday morning on the Greek island where he was last seen, police said.
The body was found on a rocky shore by investigators on a private boat, about a 30-minute walk from the village of Pedi, where Mosley was reportedly seen on Wednesday before disappearing, according to several authorities, including a police spokesman. police voice, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the ongoing investigation. Formal identification was still pending. But a police source told the BBCCBS News partner that the person had been dead “for several days.”
Mosley disappeared on Wednesday afternoon on the Greek island of Symi after going for a walk.

Lefteris Papakalodoukas, the island’s mayor, told the Associated Press that he was on the boat with members of the media when they saw a body about 20 meters above the beach at Agia Marina shortly after 10 a.m.
“We zoomed in on the cameras and saw it was him,” he said.
The mayor said the body appeared to have fallen down a steep slope, stopped against a fence and landed face down with some rocks on top. The body had a leather bag in one hand, said Antonis Mystiloglou, a cameraman for state TV ERT who was also on the boat.
A coroner has already examined the body, the BBC reported. Police spokeswoman Konstantia Dimoglidou told the network that authorities needed to rule out foul play.
“We need to get a first insight into the causes of death and whether [it] preceded the person falling to the ground,” Dimoglidou told the BBC.

Mosley, 67, is well known in Britain for his regular appearances on television and radio and for his column in the Daily Mail newspaper. He was nominated in 2022 for an Emmy for his work as executive producer of the BBC science documentary “The Human Face,” which featured stars including Elizabeth Hurley, Pierce Brosnan and David Attenborough.
Outside the UK, Mosley is also known for his 2013 book, “The Fast Diet”, which he co-authored with journalist Mimi Spencer. The book proposed the so-called “5:2 diet,” which promised to help people lose weight quickly by minimizing calorie intake two days a week and eating healthily the other five.
He later introduced a rapid weight loss program and made several films about diet and exercise.
Mosley often pushed his body to extremes to see the effects of his diets and also lived with tapeworms in his gut for six weeks for the BBC documentary “Infested! Living With Parasites.”
Mosley has four children with his wife Clare Bailey Mosley, who is also a doctor, author and health columnist.
