In Australia after this it may become law to carry water in summer.

People from hot countries would not go out walking for any reason in 40 degree heat.

Melons are the best food for electrolytes.

Definitely. Especially with the UK having fairly tame weather and temperatures, I can see how it would be easy to fall into habits and overlook the dangers when you're somewhere hotter. I've nearly gotten into trouble in Spain because I'm not used to having to worry about the midday sun. I have no interest in ridiculing the poor man. A very sad case.

Was he vaccinated?

How was he incredibly intelligent. Ffs he set off at midday for a walk in the mountains without a phone or water SMH.

I agree, and seriously sunburning very often

Many people from hot countries die of hypothermia in northern latitudes your point?

They do but then then they don’t add to it by hiking up a mountain

@@thomasbaker6563 They don't deliberately put themselves in cold situations.

@@ajs41 they do, but hey you do you

I was in Crete on a walking route. It was barely marked out, that we even wondered if it were a walking route. Just little carvings on little trees. Anyway, took us ages to get out of the place but luckily it was only 20 degrees late September and it started to rain.

Oh man... haven't we all been there. I know I have in more cooler situations. It's frightening, even in this country, how situations can change. I've been out just camping, relatively warm, then cool wind, drenched rain and suddenly you are shivering. I guess that's why survival specialists are really highly skilled: that knowing what to do when the plan goes wrong. Ironic I used to listen to a bbc on survival stories then or before Moseley's great podcast on health. I thought he would be found or come through. Still can't get used to the idea. Seems so senseless.

Perhaps they should remove all the little signs and not call it a walking route. It only encourages people to walk in areas that are dangerous to walk. Where I live I take long walks and when following small walking signs it makes u feel a false sense of safety. I've ended up near cliff edges

There's no shade at all??

27 degrees is a lovely day. Better not ever come to Australia in summer then! 😮

It's much worse than that.

They talk about reaching the Aegean Sea like it's Moses reaching Israel. He was very sick, and it's unlikely that holiday makers would have been able to recognise his sickness and bring him help in time.

Couldn't agree more.

Totally agree. There's a reason locals stay inside in the middle of the day and take a siesta. I hate to say it but a doctor should have known better.😢

Yea talk about bringing it on yourself 🙄 now these people blame themselves? And who wants to hike some boring desolate rock? What TF ….dying for THAT? I’d be so embarrassed.

You're so quick to judge. He took a short walk to the resort, missed the entrance and got lost. He made a mistake. He didn't intentionally go for a trek in the heat as you have suggested.

@@latasha9898 - He walked past shops and bars in that town where he could have gone in and asked for directions or for a taxi to take him to the villa or to.use the phone to phone his wife and friends.

I got hypothermia once from a bike ride in a cold wind. I just didn't warm up when I finally got home & my friend didn't understand I needed help. I could feel my brain shutting down, but realised I needed to get upstairs and run a hot bath for myself. It took a huge effort physically and mentally do.

You weren’t a physician. He also almost died cold water swimming so appears to be rather a slow learner

Not just a mistake, a series of really bad choices. It's often a catalogue of events which both conspire against you and you make to cause these outcomes. Very sad.

A mistake? He pulled a similar stunt a few years earlier! He decided to go cold water swimming and almost died. No. He’s an idiot.

We hang by a thread without knowing it. Every day of our lives is an attempt to cheat death for another 24 hours.

I read he lost memory, not nearly died 🤷🏼‍♀️?

No mistake made lol , going for a walk in 40 + no phone no water, A very good way to commit suicide me thinks, you could not be that stuiped ffs,

Totally agree the heat that hits you can be overwhelming.

Yes hot countries are hot in summer. A well travelled doctor who had been to that island before would know that.

@@multioptioned The Greek Islands can't be that hot in June. The water temperature is only around 21.

@@clairesmithe I was on Rhodes, an hour by boat from Symi, a week prior and the temperature was 22-24C every day for two weeks. Weather reports from when Dr. Mosley disappeared said 26-28C so I don't understand where those 40C come from, unless we're measuring temps in direct sunlight now.

That's exactly what I thought, mad dogs...

Maybe he had a death wish

*no water* He had water *unfamiliar surroundings* He has been to the island before

@@RhetoricalMuseHe obviously didn’t know the island as well as he thought he did. Probably his undoing.

it’s such a shame when doctors don’t follow their own advice or teachings. Sad all round

Agree. This journalist seems to think he had the wits to take a dip in the sea in 90seconds & cool down & all would be fine. His body was already seriously affected and probably damaged by heat. He wasn't capable of organising a sea dip & an overheated body isn't going to recover in a few seconds I wouldn't think.

I agree his body had too much by that time. I have seen so many of the videos and have learnt now that he was up in the mountainous area (after he left Pedi) for about 1 hour 45 minutes and that was what it took in such terrible heat, trying to struggle over stones and boulders.to get so near to some form of civilization. The heat from the rocky area would have been much worse as well. Poor Micheal Mosley, I always loved his programs and read his collum each week. Such a decent and kind man. May he rest in eternal peace.

Most likely he would've simply fainted in the sea instead and drowned. The sea will not protect you from heatstroke.

Even cooling off in the sea probably would not have been enough. He would have to have been drinking a litre per hour. A big factor would have been his 20deg UK-adapted body was not adjusted to 40deg heat. He would have needed an emergency chopper. This adjustment gets more important with age.

U can do both. Its important to learn from his mistakes, so others do not repeat them. Sweeping his mistakes under the carpet simply allows others to suffer the same fate. Im sure, he would not want that.

@dfuher968 I couldn't agree more but there's some people on here just slating him as if he's a complete idiot where he's anything but

Knowing who owns the media saved me from Myocarditis 💉💥💔

Pointing out his mistakes could educate people and potentially save another life. A couple of days after his death there two more cases of tourists who did the exact same mistakes in two other islands in Greece, they went hiking while we still have a heavy heatwave going.

You are so right. All those dark colours, closed shoes & socks, cap and dark umbrella - i known from experience an umbrella unless designed to block sun, creates a windless, heat.pool under it.

I thought a cool bath may be particularly distressing to an overheated,exhausted body.

@@theresanolan1157 Maybe a not too hot cup of tea would be better placed for an over heated or heatstroke body to bring the temperature back to equilibrium. I don’t know please inform if you know better for sure.

​@@11kwrightCertainly drinking chilled water after heatstroke would cause stomach cramps.

You're here too ? 😂

Mosley.

It’s not a criticism. People need to learn from the mistakes of others that’s all. I caught heatstroke in Bahrain even though it was a cloudy day. I’m sure he was a very lovely person but he took a big risk without taking his mobile in that heat.

He had a deep understanding of gullible idiots and money 💸🤡🥱🙄

@@gh9427 Google won't let me translate this to English so I don't know what you just wrote 🤡

That's what I thought when I saw him strolling along with everything dark blue including the brolly, looked so out of place and weird.

In both cold & hot climates light coloured clothing is best. Why did he not wear a white lab coat ?

Totally. And he was probably unwell.at the beach from heat- it affects older people.more and small.lean people.

Doesn't really matter what colour your clothes are if you're not carrying enough water for a hike in hot weather.

Yeah it'll be that black tshirt what done it

Perhaps you don't know enough, not being there, nor having access to all relevant information, say about the local dog population, or the extent of decomposition. Still, you can test some of your concerns. Say you are standing by the starting blocs on a 100 m track. Unknown to you, just by the finishing line, concealed behind a thin gauze, a large piece of raw meat is on the turn. Atmospheric conditions are such that there is a very slight prevailing breeze in the direction from start to finish. For some reason, a large amount of seaweed has also been left in the warm up area just behind you. How likely are you to notice any odour from the rotting meat 100m away? Answer: no chance. Odour travels by diffusion in still air, which is pretty slow, but more likely it is carried by existing air currents outside. Even a barely stirring breeze would counteract the effects of diffusion, and that seaweed is much closer, in the direction from which the breeze is carrying the very strong odour. You would probably not notice the smell of the meat until you were practically on top of it.

I agree. Also, by seating next to fenced concrete wall he could have found some sort of shade to try to cool down.

The issue was his lack of knowledge of heat effects on the body and with age- it affects your thinking, sadly.

Where is that footage ??

​@androidemulator6952 that's not what normal people want to see and why it's not been released, do you really want to see someone about to die. No get a grip

Maybe already compromised before he even set out.

@@cassandratq9301 By what do you think?

Most certainly.

🤦 the point is once heat exhaustion sets in it's very hard to notice then treat it. Being a doctor does not make you immune to the effects of heat exhaustion.

good thing he was vaccinated otherwise it would have been a lot worse !

without a bottle of water

yeah it is truly insane

And without a phone.

The phone may not have had signal anyway. Just best not to go

Bloody crazy what this man did .no 3 ways about it 😮

If he was already feeling unwell it's possible the heat was already getting to him without realising it. He'd only been there a day or something, & may not have adjusted. Could have potentially led to a bad decision to head home alone, forgetting his phone, taking a wrong turn, not taking enough water, thinking he will not be long. Sad.

I thought that..

Arid, rocky places by the sea, with virtually no greenery do not appeal to me at all, especially in extreme heat. I find it hard to understand why people choose to go on holiday in such landscapes. More of an endurance test than a holiday. Give me woodlands, grasslands, mud and plenty of freshwater.

@@portcullis5622 and if it’s hot; a few palm trees (with or without coconuts) and a tropical rainforest

​@@user-hq9ob1zo6bPlease stop speaking, I couldn't cringe harder.

I'm in favour of people not always taking a phone with them, but you should do if the circumstances are difficult for whatever reason.

It is bizarre. I don’t believe he went hiking. I think he was trying to get home and taken wrong route because he was feeling so unwell. Disgusting he left to find his own way when had been with so called friends. It’s a dreadful story and outcome. I feel so sorry for him.

not so intelligent to do .. yep

Never, ever confuse intelligence with either ability or competence.

Unfortunately, intelligence often comes hand in hand with arrogance.

Maybe he just thought he'd taken enough precaution with the umbrella and cap. Ultimately if he had taken the correct route he would've been ok probably. Even so, was always going to be risky in that heat..maybe he didn't realise it was 40C ...I myself am not good at guessing the temperature. It's just 'very hot'...

I find some intelligent people lack common sense.

"Natural causes" is the term you give to a death when there is no criminal act involved or fatal disease or medical intervention. I know where you head with your comment, educate yourself better.

Yes, a doctor should have known better but he's sadly paid the price. A lesson to us all.😢

He wasn’t a scientist. But you don’t have to be a scientist to know that walking in 40 degrees heat without anything to drink is risky.

Look what the "science" did less than 4 years ago ..

Not sure I agree with that assessment. This is a very infrequent set of circumstances and rarely happens. Most would not make this bizarre set of decisions. I regularly run in the mountains and can assure you that planning is everything

his perception may not have been all there with the heat.

@@zepelinda78 Yeah but also nobody thinks they are going to die on a holiday walk.

My friends went to a Greek island back in the 87 when there was a heatwave and people were dying, he came back bandaged up with third degree burns.

I wonder how the Masai Tribe cope. They seem to bare similar heat temperatures on long walks. Superhuman I suspect!😊

Probably zero common sense on his part and also of the search and rescue team to not think to search immediately where he was ultimately found.

Anyone would know to take lots of water in the heat of summer weather. Who wouldn't use commonsense?

A human.

Hot, dry countries don't have lush green vegetation without sprinklers going constantly. The plant life there is generally paler and coarser. This event is hopefully a good lesson to people to take more care in a climate they're not used to.

That's what I thought, they keep calling it a pretty island but I thought it looked horrible.

It is generally illegal subject to some exceptions, however there was an entry point nearby - he was just not doing well for quite a while before reaching that point.

I’ve got a feeling he was on the drink& she was used to him “nipping out”

You can have perfect judgement 99.9% of the time but it's the 0.1% that gets you. I think he just overestimated his abilities, he was quite keen on his fitness, being inwardly focused on his health from diet and exercise may have distracted him from external threats like when the ambient temperature exceeds body temperature by a single degree then you need to sweat literally bucketloads to not overheat.

He obviously couldn’t get away from her quick enough

Don't blame the wife. He was also a doctor. I'm sure she tried to dissuade him

He is also a doctor so why blame the wife for his decisions? That's so unfair. He was a grown, intelligent, medically trained man- it's not her job to override what he thought was medically manageable just because she's also a doctor.

maybe he wasnt aware how dehydrated he was. I watched video about keto and dehdration and it said after a while the hormones don't signal you are thirsty coz of problems due the mineral depletion.
