BBC presenter Dr. Michael Mosley found dead on Greek island at age 67 – NBC Los Angeles

Mosley, known from shows such as Trust Me, I’m a Doctor and BBC Radio 4’s Just One Thing podcast, as well as diets promoting intermittent fasting and low-carb meals, disappeared on June 5. He had set out for a walk without his phone while his wife, Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, stayed behind on the beach in Agios Nikolaos, BBC News reported.

Hours later, she reported him missing to the police. A search was then launched using drones, a helicopter, boats, divers and sniffer dogs. The Mosleys’ adult children, Alex, Jack, Dan and Kate, also soon arrived in Symi.

Following news of Mosley’s death, his wife said in a statement that her husband had taken the wrong route while hiking and “collapsed in a spot where he could not be easily seen by the extensive search team.”

“Michael was an adventurous man, that’s part of what made him so special,” Clare added, according to the Associated Press. “It’s devastating to have lost Michael, my wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband. We had an incredibly happy life together. We loved each other very much and were so happy together.”

Charlotte Moore, BBC Chief Content Officer, also paid tribute to Mosley.

“He was a brilliant science presenter and programme maker, able to make the most complex subjects simple, but he was also passionate about engaging and entertaining audiences and inspiring us all to live healthier, more fulfilling lives,” she said in a statement posted on Instagram. “His entertaining and accessible style was enjoyed by viewers around the world and he will be sorely missed by many people, not least those who were lucky enough to work with him at the BBC.”
