Michael Mosley died on the Greek Island when he became unwell on a coastal walk
The family of TV doctor Michael Mosley have been seen leaving the Greek Island of Symi today – two days after his body was found.
Wife Clare and his four children were spotted catching a ferry to the nearby island of Rhodes. Dr Mosley was found at around 10.30am on Sunday by a restaurant manager at the Agia Marina beach bar, five days after he was reported missing.
A coroner’s initial findings said Dr Mosley stopped for a final rest before blacking out and dying in the unforgiving 40C heat. The exhausted presenter sat down on a rock before he collapsed and died.
If he had managed to make it another 50 yards he would have reached the sea and a gate into the Agia Marina beach bar. Police have released new CCTV showing the last sighting of Dr Mosley at 2pm last Wednesday – two hours before he tragically died ‘of heat exhaustion’ on a rocky hillside.
The footage shows the 67-year-old TV star holding his distinctive purple umbrella to protect him from the fierce sun as he walks past the house with a tarpaulin-covered speedboat in the drive. He is seen heading for a trail that leads towards Agia Marina 1.5 miles away, where he died at around 4pm.
