Chilling new CCTV before TV doctor’s death

Chilling new footage of TV doctor Michael Mosley shows his final moments before his body was found on the Greek island of Symi.

Police have released chilling new footage of TV doctor Michael Mosley, whose body was found this week on the Greek island of Symi.

The newly revealed CCTV footage depicts the 67-year-old health expert walking past a property with an umbrella at 2pm.

In the driveway, there is a speedboat covered with a tarpaulin.

The footage captures Mosley’s last moments after Dr Mosley took a walk around 1:30pm last Wednesday, and an initial report suggested that he passed away around 4pm later that day.

Initial autopsy suggests fatal final rest 100 metres from safety.

Dr Michael Mosley may have taken a tragic final rest just a few yards away from the safety of a bar before he collapsed and died, an initial autopsy said.

Heartbreaking findings from the post-mortem report show the beloved TV doctor most likely died of natural causes last Wednesday – the same day he went missing on Symi.

Dr Mosley vanished after waving goodbye to his wife on the beach of Saint Nikolas – before taking a wrong turn and ending up on an unforgiving two-hour trek in scorching heat, reports The Sun.

His body was found five agonising days later lying behind a fence next to a beach bar at the Agia Marina on the other side of the small island in Greece.

Police sources told The Sun the initial findings show he sat down for a final rest before he tragically died.

They added the area is one of the hottest on the island – and said temperatures in the rocky landscape may have been more than 40 degree celsius on the day he died.

It was reported elsewhere the post-mortem found no injuries on his body that could have caused his death.

Medical sources said the position of his body suggested the doctor rested on the wall of the compound before his final collapse, reports Greek outlet Protothema.

Based on the body’s position, the initial report also concluded that Dr Mosley sat down and lost consciousness before he died.

The condition of his body has also made it difficult to determine an exact cause of death.

Additional footage of Dr Mosley’s final moments which is at the hands of the Greek police reportedly reveals the 67-year-old was walking at a slow pace through the mountain trying to reach the beach of Agia Marina.

Dr Mosley’s body was found on rocky ground on the Greek island of Symi after an extensive five-day search by drones, helicopters and specially trained dogs.

And today, his friends left white flowers where he rested before his death.

The disappearance last Wednesday sparked a major search across the island after Dr Mosley failed to return home from the beach.

Tragically, Dr Mosley reportedly “almost reached safety” prior to his death.

His backpack was found approximately six metres uphill from his body, sparking new theories about the possible causes of his death just 100 metres from the safety of a beachside bar.

A coroner from mainland Greece travelled to Symi and ruled out anything suspicious.

‘Devastating to have lost Michael’

Dr Mosley’s wife, Dr Claire Bailey, confirmed his death in a touching statement.

“I don’t know quite where to begin with this,” she said.

“It’s devastating to have lost Michael, my wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband.

“We had an incredibly lucky life together. We loved each other very much and were so happy together. I 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. It’s clear that Michael meant a huge amount to so many of you.

“We’re 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 couldn’t be easily seen by the extensive search team.

“Michael was an adventurous man, it’s part of what made him so special.

“We are so grateful to the extraordinary people on Symi who have worked tirelessly to help find him.

“Some of these people on the island, who hadn’t even heard of Michael, worked from dawn till dusk unasked. We’re also very grateful to the press who have dealt with us with great respect.

“I feel so lucky to have our children and my amazing friends. Most of all, I feel so lucky to have had this life with Michael.”

She had previously described the time since her husband went missing as “the longest and most unbearable days for myself and my children”.

It is understood that Dr Bailey was on the island with her British friends searching for any trace of her husband.
