Michael Mosley, a TV doctor and newspaper writer, hasn’t been seen since he went for a walk along the coast of the Greek island of Symi. He is being looked for.
He was last seen hiking along St. Nicholas beach at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The 67-year-old is known for his roles on The One Show and This Morning. His wife, Dr. Clare Bailey, called the police when he didn’t come home by 7:30 p.m., but they couldn’t find him overnight.
There are about 2,500 people on the island who might have seen Mosley. A post about him has been shared in one of those groups.
It said, “A search and rescue team from Athens is on its way with drones and other high-tech tools to help with the search.”
“Have you seen this guy?” He started walking back from St. Nick’s around 13:30, but he never got home. Friends worry about him because they haven’t seen him in six hours. His name is Dr. Mike Mosley, and a lot of people in Britain know him.
Greek police told the Guardian that a plane and highly trained dogs would be joining the huge search for Mosley on the faraway island in the Aegean.
“Every service in the book is out there looking for him,” said an anonymous police chief who was in charge of the operation. It was stated that he was missing this morning, and now cops, firefighters, and volunteers are looking for him.
A drone was also being used, and the Hellenic coast guard has been told to keep an eye on the rough coast of the island. “We think he may have slipped and fallen because of the heat, possibly from a height.” At this point, nothing is being ruled out.
The fire service trained the dogs to find bodies, and they were supposed to get to the island by Thursday night.
Mosley writes a column for the Daily Mail and has made a number of films about food and exercise, such as Michael Mosley: Who Made Britain Fat? on Channel 4. He was also in the BBC show Trust Me, I’m a Doctor.
For the film Infested!, he lived with tapeworms in his gut for six weeks. Radio show Living With Parasites on BBC Four.
Mosley is also known for making the 5:2 diet more well-known. On this diet, you fast for two days a week to lose weight. He has been named “medical journalist of the year” by the British Medical Association before.
