CCTV shows last sighting of Michael Mosley two hours before he collapsed
A new CCTV image have been released that show Dr Michael Mosley two hours before he died on the Greek island of Symi during a heatwave.
The images show Dr Mosley walking past a house while holding an umbrella to protect himself from the sun as temperatures hit up to 40°C.
Police have said the 67-year-old died of natural causes after he went missing after leaving his wife and friends at St Nicholas beach on Wednesday last week.
The TV doctor and broadcasterâs body was found on Sunday at a rocky area said to be just 90 seconds away from a beach resort and safety.
A five-day search was launched after he vanished on a hike while alone, without his phone and with only a small bottle of water.
Previously released CCTV showed Dr Mosley heading for a trail leading towards Agia Marina beach 1.5 miles away.
He had been planning to go to the holiday apartment he was staying at after being dropped off by boat at St Nicholas beach at 1.30pm.
It is estimated that the time of his death was around 4pm local time.
Downing Street led tributes to Dr Mosley who was hailed as an âextraordinary broadcasterâ who had a âhuge impactâ on peopleâs lives.
A No 10 spokesperson said: âHe will be known as an extraordinary broadcaster who used his platform to influence and change the way we think about many public health issues.â
On Monday, Dr Mosleyâs Trust Me, Iâm A Doctor co-star Dr Saleyha Ahsan paid tribute to her âmentor and a friendâ.
Dr Ahsan told BBC Breakfast: âThe way that I got to know him on screen, that really personable, accessible character that he comes across on television, thatâs exactly how he was in real life and how he was with me.
âHe instantly put me at ease, settled me down, and we got on with the job. And I forgot about the cameras and the lights, we just had a really good conversation.â
Dr Mosleyâs wife Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, paid tribute to him as âmy wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husbandâ.
She said: âItâs devastating to have lost Michael. We had an incredibly lucky life together. We loved each other very much and were so happy together.
âI am incredibly proud of our children, their resilience and support over the past days. My family and I have been hugely comforted by the outpouring of love from people from around the world.
âItâs clear that Michael meant a huge amount to so many of you.
âWeâre taking comfort in the fact that he so very nearly made it. He did an incredible climb, took the wrong route and collapsed where he couldnât be easily seen by the extensive search team.â
His body was discovered around mid-morning on Sunday beneath a fence that runs around a bar on Agia Marina beach, which is surrounded by hilly, rocky terrain.
Police arrived at Agia Marina around 20 minutes after the body was discovered about 90 metres from the coastline, with firefighters later arriving just after 2pm local time to take the body away from the island on a boat.
On Saturday, an emergency services helicopter spent hours flying across the mountainous search site on Symi between Pedi bay and Agia Marina, and hovered over the spot where the body was later found by a local bar owner and reporters.
Agia Marina bar manager Ilias Tsavaris, 38, said he first saw the body alongside journalists after the islandâs mayor âsaw somethingâ by the fence of the bar and alerted staff.
The search effort had been widespread, operating in dangerous conditions and high temperatures, and included police, firefighters with drones, Greek Red Cross workers, divers, a search dog and a helicopter.
Greek authorities shifted their focus on Saturday after CCTV footage from a house at the edge of a small marina in Pedi showed the presenter walking towards a mountainous path at about 2pm local time on Wednesday.
