DM article says the most heartbreaking things:
Dr Mosley first decided to investigate the diet after a blood test revealed he was in the early stages of type 2 diabetes.
'That was a nasty shock,' he said, 'because my overweight dad had developed diabetes in his 50s and died of diabetes-related illnesses at the relatively young age of 74. I didn't want to go down the same path.
'So I set out to find out if there was a drug-free way to 'cure' my diabetes. Periodic fasting sounded so interesting that I persuaded the BBC to let me make a science documentary with myself as the guinea pig. It was called Eat, Fast And Live Longer.'
And
He sometimes talked to journalists with characteristic insouciance about death: 'I would like to die surfing or sky‑diving. I wouldn't mind falling off my bike and going under a bus either, something short and sharp — with apologies to the driver.
'Would I ever kill myself? I would not rule it out. I can imagine things going badly wrong, a catastrophic illness, a stroke, a cancer. I would not want to be a burden but it would utterly depend on Clare. It's a decision I would take with her.'
It's been likely this would be the outcome but the Mail have spent time researching this his life for when the news did come and it's so ironic. It's almost as if you can't escape your fate in a 'final destination' kind of manner.
He was 67.
