A BARMAN has told of the agonising moment he discovered the body believed to be missing TV doctor Michael Mosley. Ilias Tsavaris, 38, found what police sources say is the British presenter on rocky ground just 120 yards from where rescue teams had been searching. Dr Mosley, 67, known for his appearances on The One Show and This Morning, had been missing since Wednesday after he went for a walk alone along a coastal path in searing heat.

For five days, the health expert seemingly disappeared without a trace , prompting a major search operation involving helicopters, divers, firefighters, dogs, and drones . A police spokesperson told The Sun today they had identified his body using his watch and clothes. The body was found a 30 minute walk from where Dr Mosley was last seen and close to a dangerous cave complex known to locals as "The Abyss".



The remains still await formal identification. Ilias, a bar manager in Agia Marina, first found the body after receiving a call from Symi's mayor who had spotted the body from the boat. He said: "I walked up 30 metres and I saw an image of a person, I said is that.

.. I went closer and closer.

"I called the owners, him and the other guy, and they called the police now. "They told me to check out over there. They called me to go and check over there.

"But they saw it with the boat, the mayor came and saw something so that is when they called me...

they said 'we saw something from far away can you go and check' so I went there. "So when I walk.
