This Morning star Michael Mosley has left £1.7million to his wife Clare following his tragic death on a Greek island. A search for the broadcaster and columnist, 67, was launched on Symi this summer, part of the Dodecanese island chain, by emergency services, with his body being found four days later. He left his wife and two friends on the beach of Saint Nikolas to go for a walk. It's believed he was walking back to their accommodation when he took a wrong turn while leaving Pedi.
It is then understood he was heading north-east and ended up in a rocky, sunny landscape. He didn't have his phone with him and only had an umbrella, watch, rucksack, water and a wallet on his person. He walked all the way to Agia Marina but soon collapsed. Senior coroner for Buckinghamshire, Crispin Butler, said Dr Mosley’s death was “indeterminate” and “unascertainable”, adding that it “was most likely attributable either to heatstroke (accidental) or non-identified pathological cause”.
In written findings, Mr Butler said Dr Mosley’s death was not found to be as a result of homicide, suicide, or an accident related to injuries. They found that his death was 'likely attributable either to heatstroke (accidental) or a non-identified pathological cause'. And now, his will has been made public and shows he left his entire £1.74million estate to his wife.
Dr Mosley, famed for pioneering the 5:2 diet and sharing his wisdom through his book 'The Fast Diet', as well as impactful documentaries on the BBC, sadly passed away. As a tribute, in July, the network dedicated an entire day to Dr Mosley, prompting presenters and viewers alike to adopt "just one thing" towards better health.
