The search for missing TV doctor and columnist Michael Mosley is set to resume on the Greek island of Symi. Emergency crews had paused the search at 8pm Greek time on Friday as dusk fell, but will recommence on Saturday morning in a bid to find the 67-year-old who vanished on Wednesday after setting off on a walk to the centre of the island. Police and firefighters had been using drones to try to locate Mr Mosley, while divers and the local coast guard had joined rescue efforts, alongside local residents who were said to be using their own boats to find the British national.
CCTV footage from a house at the edge of Pedi’s small marina at the far end of the village showed the presenter entering the path at about 2pm on Wednesday. One of the rescuers told the PA news agency that Mr Mosley’s decision was “inexplicable”, as it would have taken a fit young person three hours to walk to the port.

The area where Mr Mosley went missing is experiencing hot temperatures, with a yellow weather warning for high temperatures in force in Rhodes and the surrounding islands including Symi, according to the Hellenic National Meteorological Service.
