Tweet Facebook Mail British television personality and health guru Michael Mosley may have died shortly after becoming unwell while walking alone on the Greek island of Symi, local police said. Mosley, a television doctor who popularised a type of intermittent fasting known as the 5:2 diet, was on holiday when he went missing last Wednesday, sparking an enormous days-long search involving the police, fire service, coast guard and volunteers. His body was found on Sunday about a two-hour walk from Agios Nikolaos beach, from where he set off on his walk.
Police believe he died at about 4pm local time on Wednesday, the day he went missing, Greek police spokeswoman Konstantia Dimoglidou told CNN.

Dimoglidou told CNN that police do not believe Mosley had been sitting down for long before dying, as his time of death was similar to the length of time it would have taken for him to reach the spot. Mosley's body was found when a boat carrying the island's mayor, Lefteris Papakalodoukas, and some journalists spotted him lying face-up next to a fence about 20 metres above Agia Marina beach, Papakalodoukas told the Associated .
