TRAGIC TV doctor Michael Mosley left £1.7m to his family after he died while on holiday in Greece, The Sun can reveal. The One Show and This Morning star, whose disappearance in June sparked a five-day manhunt on the Greek island of Symi, bequeathed the huge sum to his beloved wife Clare.

It came as a coroner yesterday recorded an open verdict on his death, though said intense 37-degree temperatures were likely a factor. Mosley, 67, was found just seconds from the safety of a holiday resort on June 9, four days after failing to return from a long walk.

A post-mortem later showed he likely attempted to take a rest in the moments before he died – even propping his legs up on a rock. Documents seen by The Sun show probate was granted by the High Court on Wednesday. The diet expert doctor’s total estate was worth £1,750,432, which was reduced to £1,738,654 after legal costs were paid.
His will, signed off in February 2014, left all his assets, including property, cash savings and book and TV royalties, to his wife of 37 years. A backup provision meant the funds would be shared by his four children if Clare died before him. More details of Mosley’s final hours were revealed in a written coroner’s report released publicly yesterday.

The probe revealed the TV star left his phone at his holiday home to prevent it from getting wet on his family’s ferry trip, tragically stopping him from phoning for help. Buckinghamshire senior coroner Crispin Butler said the cause of Dr Mosley’s death was “unascertainable” but likely linked to searing temperatures of more than 37 degrees in the summer holiday hotspot.
