An update on Michael Mosley's cause of death has been shared six months after his body was tragically found. The TV doctor, who regularly appeared on This Morning, died on a Greek island earlier this summer after he went for a walk in the heat alone. The broadcaster, 67, went missing in Symi and a search was launched by emergency services, with his body found days later on June 9.
Now, a coroner has recorded an open conclusion regarding the cause of his death. Senior coroner for Buckinghamshire, Crispin Butler, said Dr Mosley's death was classified as 'indeterminate' and most likely down to heatstroke or a non-identified pathological cause.
In written findings, Mr Butler said the doctor's death was not found to be a result of homicide, suicide, or an accident related to injuries. He wrote: "No medical cause of death could be ascertained, meaning Michael's death may have been due to a medical event or as a result of a non-traumatic accident.".
The TV doctor, known for popularising the 5:2 diet, was found dead in a rocky area of Agia Marina on the Greek island of Symi. He had arrived on the picturesque island with his wife, Clare Bailey, a day before he went missing. They were staying with friends who lived in the town and had taken a boat out to the coast for the day.
The couple spent some time at Saint Nicholas Beach and at around 1.30pm, Michael chose to go for a 2.2 mile walk back to the house, where he had left his phone. His wife and the other couple returned to the property, however when the 67-year-old author failed to return by 7.30pm, Clare raised the alarm of his disappearance.
