One of the best tv presenters of the last 20 years for me. His tv docu program "Inside the Human Body" in 2011 where he featured and narrated was superb and lives long with me ever since. Such a tragic, sad, lonely and agonising way to go out on his last breath. Michael isn't the first and certainly won't be the last to get into trouble on such adventurous walks, but help yourself and your cause if you do by taking light supplies to replenish your fluid levels, a medi bag, sun visor or cap to keep the sunrays off, little snack bar or two to consume and build up lost energy, and most importantly a ways of telecommunication whether a reliable cell phone, a two way sos radio, a flare or a location beacon on a smartwatch while you carry out the other stuff. All that can be held in a waist bag and not weigh you down. RIP Michael, you will be missed.

Yes, all good basic survival tips; but though he WAS carrying some water, I think he decided to chance it in the blazing heat. Ironically because he was feeling unwell.

Michael. 💐🧡🌿

You honestly can't think straight in that kind of heat...tragically.

CCTV footage showed Dr Mosley stumbling around for 20m on what should have been a 5m portion of the walk. It sounds as if he was in crisis then. It’s odd that journalists are surmising he’d have “made it back to have a drink and cool down.” He had a medical episode on the mountain. If he’d staggered to the marina he’d likely have had the same very sad outcome. Such a shame he chose the wrong challenge in such intense heat. He was always so careful and hyper aware yet put himself at such risk. We don’t yet know if something more sinister was happening for him that might have struck at any time. RIP.

A tragic series of poor decisions. Went on his own, didn’t take his phone, walked a very long way in high temperatures, didn’t take water. Effectively, all the things NOT to do! Very sad!

He was too smart and too old to think that he was an exception to best common sense practices. I just keep getting the feeling that there is another story here which isn't being talked about.

I think maybe the Dear Dr started on his walk with the clear intention it would take X time to reach his destination, took a wrong turn.. but didnt realise, and by the time he did, he' d gone too far to turn back, esp in that heat.

I live in 33° year round. We hike for 3 hours in the June but only in the mornings because the day gets hotter and hotter. You would only walk without water at that time of the day if you knew you'd be home in 20-30 minutes and started out well-hydrated. Generally, we avoid it and stay in from 1-4pm unless we have transport. This is the hottest part of the day!

When I heard he was missing the first thing I researched was the availability of mobile phone signal on the Island. I’m also 67, watched him avidly and learned much. Deepest sympathies with his family and many friends!

I read that it was the Mayor and a photographer that found him. There was a lot of inaccuracies in the reporting of this story.

Tragic. Sending condolences to all of those affected by his loss.

The man was an expert in human physiology.He knew the importance of hydration and heat management. He surely had that top of his mind. He's found extremely close to where people are despite a widespread search over days. The mayor spots the body. These things are odd to me. I'm sure when he set off, he didn't expect this would happen to him. RIP a wonderful man.

There are many comments of, " He nearly made it". Where? If he did die at that location, how did he get there? It meant he had been walking in the opposite direction for hours.

I think he simply did not want to take what he would have thought of as a very boring option to walk on a main road and then sit in the apartment for hours waiting for his wife and friends to come back. So he chose to walk onto the hill to get a view, believing it would then be fairly easy to get to Agia Marina for water and a rest before turning back to Pedi. But in actuality the path, at least on the side he went (there may be an easier path the other side which apparently is signposted on the hills) was more a climb and absolutely unsuitable to attempt alone in that heat.

@@hedgehogwildlifejunction9119 Another confusing thing: I'd seen he fell, then they said he didn't (no injuries were obvious)...so why did I see a photo of his umbrella all damaged? If he didn't fall and he just put it down, it wouldn't have been damaged. Lots of puzzling things and we'll probably never know the answers. I just hope he didn't suffer too much.

I been to many south East Asian countries a tropical and humid climate 35 degree full coconut tree and shade for the beach everywhere. I found it still too much for the body to handle. For many years, these people telling everyone how great going holiday on the Greece island , no tree, no shade, no protection with 40 degree temperature. I rest my case.

I wonder what time he got to the Wall.. It begs my belief he didn't scream/shout for assistance knowing how close to the resort he was (unless he couldn't do so, of course). I don't know the guy but this has been on my mind for days.. which is unusual for me. Something just doesn't sit right in my head with all of this.. Why keep walking if you are lost? Turn back? right? God knows. Hopefully the Autopsy can give us definitive answers. & for people saying 'KZread Detectives out in force' You'd be surprised to know that people simply just have compassion for other human's and try put them selves into ones position. When things don't make sense, that is when questions are asked. This does not make sense. EDIT : Surely The Sea/Bay would have been visible at most times. So His directional sense shouldn't have been that off!

If that wall was not there he could have reached the water. The family should check whether that land is legally occupied and whether this wall was legally built since blocking access to the sea in greece is illegal.

Keep out of the sun from at least 12pm, and keep out until 4.30 or later.

Thank you for a sensitive and heartfelt report, with accurate details. I have noticed some really good reports - and reporters - from The Sun on a variety of subjects. An unusual approach (sadly) - given the fashionable trend for drama to 'gain clicks.' This shows some integrity and wish to actually adhere to facts - and l support that.

Well, one thing to realize that many people don't, and I know this because I live in Houston. I almost got too hot Sunday morning at 9am in 91 F weather when I was mowing the yard, because heat in Houston, Texas, is very dry. There is NO WIND. So, once you get sweaty, your clothes stick to you, and your body can't sweat to relieve the heat. It feels like a sauna. Might say 91 F, but it's more like 100+ (or 103 - 110) heat that your body is fighting. Because your body absorbs the heat and can't sweat to lower the temperature. Honestly, I had to strip down on my front porch -- after my mowing and just sit down and breathe. Because it was that hot after just 35 to 45 minutes of intense exertion. So, I can see it easily happening in a terrian that has no shade and dark colors, which act like asphault and add 20 to 30 degrees extra to temperature. So, I feel for Dr. Mosley if that MUGGY temperature, slow-to-walk within terrian, and desert-like environment. Easily take a person out.

Its all very strange. Did he collapse from heatstrike or something else..i guess we wont know until a full examination is done. Condolences to the family.
