Absolutely gutted, I loved his shows and he was trying to do a lot of good in the world. Can’t even imagine what the family is going through.
What a shame, at least it’s some closure for them but I had really hoped it wouldn’t turn out like this. Rest in peace.
Sad news, but to be expected after he wasn’t found alive in the first 24 hours.
Interesting that his body was found in a cave, sounds like he was trying to escape the heat by sheltering in a cave.
All very sad though I supposed not unexpected, given the length of time he was missing. It just goes to show how precious and fragile life can be
I’d been expecting this news, especially the last 2 days, but I’m actually so gutted. I’m a big fan of Dr Mosley and he always came across as a lovely, gentle and articulate man. Thoughts with Clare and his children, very sad news…
Edit: Removed my edit because BBC have now admitted no formal identification has taken place yet.
Sounds like he was trying to escape the heat but no water with how hot it was is a death sentence, poor guy.
Gutted, however unlikely, you really hope for a miracle. Hope that whatever happened was quick and painful free ☹️
What a tragic ending to such a nice man. I can’t imagine what he went through these last few days with the soaring heat. My heart hurts for him and his family.
I don’t think anyone expected to find him alive at this point, but it’s still heartbreaking.
At least this will, hopefully, put to rest rumours that he chose to abandon his wife and family in some way.

Google will auto translate and gives a quite detailed account
Really horrible news. A very likeable guy who made good content with a positive message and no doubt helped many people with their health. Condolences to his family and friends.
BBC saying he seems to have fallen then, that’s awful 🙁
So sad.
The BBC News so quick to show this video obituary, you know they’ve got to have produced this in advance.
Unfortunately, the outcome was inevitable. I can’t imagine how his family feeling.
So sad, assuming it’s him. I’m perplexed at how it’s taken this long to find him. According to [this](https://www.skai.gr/news/greece/michael-mosley-vrethike-nekros-o-agnooumenos-parousiastis-tou-bbc) he was behind a fence and possibly fell down a hill but it suggests that the search was poorly conducted especially when it’s reportedly 10m from the beach, although the BBC say it was a small cliff on a hill. Apparently he died a few days ago.
Oh no, I’ve been following this for the last few days hoping that he would be found safe and well. Such sad news. Rest in peace Michael.
Met him very briefly around 10 years ago – came across as a really nice bloke. This hits hard.
I still don’t get why he didn’t have his phone on him
He was so influential on my sleep and eating habits. My well-being changed because of him. What a tragedy.
So upsetting. He must have had a medical episode/lost mental clarity through heat stroke possibly? Why on earth would he have wondered up a mountain path into caves when he wasn’t feeling well otherwise? With hindsight you wish his wife had gone home with him. :’(
Very sad news, I just hope that he didnt suffer for too long and his death was quick.
It seems like just tripped and fell among the rocks. The Greek website shows a pic, blurred, of where his body was found and it seems he just tumbled given how his body seems to be laying there. Plus the heat obviously. I do hope it was quick (banging head on a rock) and he didn’t suffer.
It’s horrible news. I’m glad his family have been able to find him though, if he’d fallen into the sea they may have never really known 100% what happened.
Very sad news for his family but i still feel like we didn’t need bombarding with article after article about this situation when its literally just one guy who went missing, why isnt this kind of attention put on really messed up situations where millions of people are suffering?
This is sad news, but it was unfortunately the likely outcome once he’d gone off on his own. Hopefully his family finds some peace from his body being foundm
Is it true he went for the walk without his phone? I really hope it was a terrible accident and he wasn’t feeling depressed and did something. Poor man. This made my heart sink.
I don’t see how the two photos at https://www.skai.gr/news/greece/michael-mosley-vrethike-nekros-o-agnooumenos-parousiastis-tou-bbc can be of the same person. One shows legs sticking out from behind a wall, in the other he’s nowhere near a wall opening?
Gut wrenching that he was so close this whole time.
Incredibly sad news. Inevitable but there was always hope…such a genuine person, so enjoyable to watch and learn from. Made you feel better.
Somehow how he was found, the details, are all the more heartbreaking.
This is the guy famous for promoting fad diets right? Not sure it warranted near constant news coverage. Sad nonetheless
God bless, my prayers are with his family and all those who know him well. RIP Michael. I will really miss your shows on TV.
I’m so sad 😞 We loved him here in Australia. I was hoping for a miracle
His body was found by a Greek news camera it would seem. Blurred images of the body have been published. That’s very sad.
Absolutely gut wrenching. This is so heartbreaking for everyone but especially for his family and friends. What an absolute tragedy and huge loss. Rest in Peace Michael.
