Thread 4 - Michael Mosley

[Aquarius1234]

Body found and identified.

Rest in peace, Michael.

Dreadful, and incredibly sad, news. My only thought/hope is that it was quick, and he didn't suffer.

Rest in peace Dr Michael Mosley.

Heartbreaking for his wife and family. To go away with your husband expecting a holiday and returned bereaved. That poor woman.

On the previous thread a poster said he made the most of his life, he helped millions of people. His legacy will last.

I’ve seen the footage now. It looks like he could have fell. It was very steep and rocky. Poor man. It’s so sad.

It also looks wide open so surprising it took this long to find him.

One of the recovery team is now being stretchered away with a suspected broken leg. It's clearly more hazardous underfoot than it appears.

Not a conspiracy. Just an agreement by journalists not to publish the story until 9am today. Really not that unusual!

I’m the ERT report his body is not near a sheer drop. It’s against rocks yes, but a shallower decline. He is right up against a tall wire fence which is the boundary of a restaurant / bar near the beach. It’s as if he was trying to get in. So very sad. Hopefully it was quick in any case.

Ok so sounds like he died soon after the day he went for a walk.
Not surprising it was the 1st day he was missing.

I am really so so sad to read this news. RIP Dr Mosley, you leave such a legacy. Thoughts with his family and loved ones.

It seems like a fall but not from great height.
Even a small trip among rocks can be fatal.

It also looks wide open so surprising it took this long to find him.

Yes I do wonder why it took so long to find him. There were apparently boats searching the coastline plus drones and helicopters, he didn't appear to be hidden and was obviously visible from the boat that found him.
Poor man, so close to his apparent destination.

@Aquarius1234 yes he easily could have slipped and banged his head, even if not from a great height. It’s so sad that he was so so close to the bar when it happened.

So very sad. I loved his programme on Radio 4. I hope that it was a quick end and that his family can take some comfort from that - they must be devastated.

I'm glad that they have at least found him, and that all of his 4 children are on the island with their mother.

So close to safety. What a terrible shame.

So,so sad. Rest in peace Michael.

Have you not heard of news embargoes? It happens all the time. A news item not allowed to be released until a certain time or date.

A very clever man. How sad.

I'm following a Times reporter on Twitter who is literally there right now filming. He says the discovery was made this morning.

So sad 😭 i hope that it was quick for him at the end and he didn’t suffer. RIP Michael and condolences to his family. Such a lovely man to come to such a horrible end, he did not deserve that.

I hope it this is true, it gave the family a chance to take in the news without the glare of press.

It's so sad. I'm relieved they have found him relatively quickly though.

So sad, RIP.
Sadly in these cases there is very rarely any hope.
So the member of the public who spotted some blue from a boat a few days ago, is that what led them there?

And yet another report says the body was found at 10.30 this morning so that doesn't fit with your comment.

RIP Michael. Lovely man, very relatable. Condolences to his family and friends.

Life can be so cruel.

So sad to hear this confirmed. I credit his (and Jason Fung's) advice for helping me to lose 70lbs last year. I always really enjoyed watching his tv shows and reading his books, my thoughts are with his family.
