Michael Mosley-a body has been found

[Thunderpants88]

Body found in search for presenter Michael Mosley https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0kk9gvw8l0o

so sad for his family

After he was found, she knew how far she had walked yes.

That's not relevant.

We are clarifying what she found comfort in.

And it's important to not put words in her mouth.

She didn't say anywhere that she found comfort in the fact that he was found

At this point it’s clear you have zero clue what you’re talking about, hence resorting to insults.

Give the family some peace from your superiority.

Have been so sad all day. What a lovely man who gave useful advice and made a contribution with his life and work.

I had just started listening to his deep calm podcast this week, and we tried out some of the exercises as a family, lay on the bed together.

I'm going to listen to more of his just one thing episodes and try and adopt some healthy habits. I can't think of a better tribute than that.

I wish the bickering would stop. It feels like people sniping at each other and at him while we wait for the coffin at a funeral. Yes, I know we're not in church, and this is social media. But FGS a bit of respect for him and for each other wouldn't go amiss.

A man died. Today is not the day for point scoring.

Yes I do know what I’m irritated by, your sense of superiority. HTH.

Of chugging course people should stay safe in the sun. That’s not in dispute. I may have even said myself in an earlier thread about this that he would have known the risks of the sun & heat but that doesn’t stop some people from taking risks.

Poor Michael
Seemed a nice guy and will be missed.

Just goes to show how pathetic MN is when people start arguing over a mans death.

That's an insult to the Neuro diverse. Some people are just not very intelligent, end of.

@LindorDoubleChoc with respect, being ND doesn't indicate a lack of empathy or kindness I am very likely ND (as is DS).
I feel exactly the same as you.

I get why people are talking about sun safety and heatstroke. I'm sure all of us will think twice next time we are somewhere hot.

It's just the tone and the sniping. Most posters will be NT (statistically) but you always get some folk who like to argue the toss even in the midst of a tragedy.

How many posts on the same story? I'd been in the one in chat but it's gone cold.

Exactly. It is closure to something of great significance. It must be just one aspect of many questions surrounding an incident of this nature.
The threads here seem to show that it’s human nature to want to understand what happened to a fellow human being.
If MM could do a final ‘Just One Thing’ from where he is now, I like to think he’d be reflecting on his experience, sharing with us in his usual jovial, unassuming and philosophical way, how not to end up in the same situation.
He was a national treasure and would have been so deserving of a knighthood.

@LindorDoubleChoc that’s a pretty insensitive post.

I don’t know which posters you meant specifically but I’m not ashamed to say I’m neurodiverse: ADHD. I’ve been on MM threads since yesterday and unlike a few other posters, haven’t had any posts on there deleted (AFAIK )

I’ve also shared that I had a family member missing and in the news (luckily found alive, albeit in not exactly happy circumstances).

It’s easy for people who mostly lurk to pop in and complain about the type of posts.

Yes, and that is why I specifically said a very rare mindset or trolling, because of course I know that ND doesn't mean you are rigid, unthinking, uncaring, goady.

Completely agree with this. You've got it spot on in your paragraph about the bickering, Alltheyear. It's been utterly sickening and disrespectful to read all the point scoring.

I'm AuDHD and I certainly do not recognise these bickering 'dog with a bone' type posts. In fact I said so a few days ago on an ND support thread.

But you still equated that mindset to neurodiversity in your now-deleted post.

i appreciate that saying this may look like arguing, but it’s important point.

It makes you think, ‘there for the grace of God….’ I love walking and hiking, and often in a new place will go looking for some walks away from the crowds. Sometimes I’ve regretted my choices because it turns out to be a bit dodgy in parts. Just takes a split second decision to change your life forever. Very sad.

It's been deleted has it?

Why do you think certain posters simply will not listen to hundreds of posts begging, pleading, and arguing with them to just STFU because it's inappropriate? So much so that a previous thread had to be taken down?

It must be trolling. I'll get deleted for that too!

@Livelovebehappy

Yes this does illustrate how things can go really wrong really quickly.
The whole thing is a tragedy. So many bad factors came together all at once - the lack of comms to his party to tell them where he was going, the lack of a phone, the heatwave, the choice of walk, the place he fell ill or just fell, the fact he was so close to other people who could possibly have helped. A catalogue of errors.

Rude. A poster brought it up. I’m happy not to mention my ND anymore, I haven’t at all until this point.

A man died. Today is not the day for point scoring.

I so agree with you @Alltheyearround The bickering is awful and so disrespectful

But would you be so foolish as to head off on your own in 42 degree heat in unknown barren territory without a mobile phone or adequate water?

This. Seriously, stop with all the stupid bickering. Shameful. A man is dead, someone that meant a lot to a lot of people.

RIP Michael Mosely, you will indeed be missed.

Leave it be for crying out loud. Maybe he had a heart attack or a stroke ...maybe contributed to by the heat...or not ...maybe a snake bite, maybe something else ...noone knows at this point...just be respectful of the man and his family on this day of all days.

It's very sad. I've been listening each night to his new R4 series on calm, just a calming presence who will really be missed

I suppose its all a matter of calculated risks and he didnt see it as sufficiently dangerous. It's easily to see it as foolish looking in from the outside. What's strange is why he didnt tell his party where he was going. The couple they were with owned the property they were staying in didnt they? So they'd be well aware of the terrain and risks so you'd think.
