Thread 4 - Michael Mosley

[Aquarius1234]

Body found and identified.

That’s what I read.

some posters won't let it go

What do you mean? I feel emotionally invested in the story.

Im also autistic so probably missing some ‘social law’ that I should say nothing but RIP?

I don’t think it’s fair to say it was a waste of a life. He did an awful lot with the time he had, albeit being cut short.

Deepest sympathies to his heartbroken family and friends.
He was a man who made a difference.
Who helped so many people.

As a previous poster says, the Greek news site ERT has blurred out photos showing exactly where his body was found. On rocks by a fence. Visible from the water also. I’d recommend not looking at them but anyway he wasn’t found in a cave or having fallen from height, etc!

he will leave a legacy

That's my point. There will be so many different comments made and lots will be untrue/ speculation.

This is awful. I didn’t expect they’d find him alive I suppose but you always have hope. It seems like he took a wrong turn and must have fallen? It wasn’t that long ago me and a friend were watching his show where he would turn up at the supermarket checkout of people he was helping it was such a good show. Can’t believe a holiday for him has ended like this.

RIP. How incredibly sad for his family. From what a PP posted a few threads up, it sounds the death he would have wanted in that it was hopefully quick. No consolation for those left behind though. I bought the fast 800 treat book last week and had been watch his recent TV series - he brought valuable information to so many in a relatable way.

Why has this thread turned into a told you so battle? It sounds like it was tragic accident and his family should be allowed to grieve in peace without all the speculation and posters rushing to be first with any 'news'

how very sad.
my thoughts are with the family who have been through hell in the last few days.
this is not what you want to deal with, especially not on holiday.

This is so sad. I hope he didn’t suffer. My thoughts are with his family.

That poster is potentially very astute.

I say often on here that you should look for the silences and omissions in reporting or statements as they are often as revealing as what's said.

Given the public interest on the story, you would typically expect every single detail and update on the search whilst that lasted. This would gradually slow to nothing as the next news story took over. But what happened was a report about a new search and then a sudden silence and no new big public interest story.

It really wouldn't at all surprise me if he was found yesterday and there was grace period for the family. The news broke this morning just after 9am UK time - ideal for media reporting too.

We don't know as yet if this is the case, but I do think it was fair comment by that poster. It's an observation of how news reporting follows a pattern.

Very much expected but very much saddened. Was really hoping for a miracle but with no water access and so many days in that heat… 😞

so so sorry for his last moments, I hope it was quick, and for his poor family. The last few days must have been horrific.

The body was found literally next to a fence into a resort so it's not clear that he fell. He might've been trying to find a way in.

Awwww, that's absolutely devastating. 😢

Not shocked to hear this though sadly.

The body has definitely been identified as Michael Mosely has it?

If so, R.I.P. Michael Mosely. How sad. 😢

He wasn’t in a cave or in the sea. Greek news have posted photos. I won’t be posting a link.

So very sad 😢

Also the man from the Times on the scene is saying it was found at 10:30 am (local time) this morning.

He was very very close to the marina.

Dr Mosley should get a posthumous knighthood for everything he has done for the health and wellbeing of those in this country. Rest in peace

Such sad news. He was a lovely man who helped so many people. He has left an amazing legacy. My heart goes out to his wife and children.

I hope it was quick and painless. Sudden unexpected deaths are so horrible for the family and such a shock. But life has taught me to wish for sudden unexpected deaths for those I love as I would much rather my shock and pain than them suffering. If only he could have had a few more years, but we always wish for that.

RIP Michael.

But that would involve a major conspiracy amongst the people actually there filming the body being found

Did the mayor and all the UK journalists all decide to take part in some strange conspiracy? Was Twitter also silenced?

For what purpose?

This is so very sad. My heart goes out to his family. 🌹

So utterly sorry for him and his poor family. What a gent. Knowing he had his umbrella with him is heartbreakingly poignant.
