Michael Mosley missing: ‘it would be difficult to survive these conditions’ 

People have died from the heat waiting for a bus at a bus stop in Greece. In this kind of heat wave locals only go out when it is not the peak heat time period! Going for a hike in 40+ degrees weather is not recommended no matter how fit you are!

The poor bloke, man. It's horrible to imagine. I really hope he's found soon.

So strange to go towards a very rocky area, surely the footing would have been so difficult when you’re holding an umbrella in one hand, that you’d turn back very quickly. My heart goes out to his family and I hope he will still be found alive

A small island, but remember how long it took to find Nicola Bulley in a small area.

If he wasn’t feeling well, why wouldn’t someone have gone with him back to his house

This is so sad. Why on earth would he go out in this heat. It never ceases to amaze me being Australian how these Brit’s do not seem to understand the danger f exposing one s self to such high temperatures. N a recent trip to Thailand I observed the British and Scandinavian tourists laying ytbn the intense sun all day sun baking. Day after day. All looking like lobsters. Are they not educated the way we are about the danger of sun exposure. You would never catch an Ausie or local out in the midday sun. It’s deadly

If no one walks that path I would have thought a top tracker dog could follow his scent?!

I hope with all my heart that somehow this lovely man is found safe and well.

Why would anyone go out for a walk in those conditions and not take his phone? It doesn't make any sense

Maybe got delerious from dehydration and wandered off, not thinking in the right state of mind with lack of water

The man is/was a doctor and knew about heatstroke and dehydration. He carried an umbrella and hat. He had passed places which sold water, brinks, etc. So we can rule out heat and dehydration. He probably fell somewhere.

Got to be honest, that scorched landscape isn't my cup of tea

It seems as if he knew what he was doing in the darkest of honesty. No phone. No water. "I'm just popping out"....?? .... errrr

The mayor of Symi has said that troubling questions remain. QUITE - why was Mosley going on this walk if he was feeling below par particularly given the heat. Not the first time I have seen someone using an umbrella in the heat. Have done so myself and seen others doing so.

Please bring him back safe and sound all my prayers go to his family friend's and relations god bless and look after them all 🙏🙏

Possible heatstroke, if he then went to cool off in the sea after not eating or drinking much that day.....

Why oh why did he go out in the hottest time of the day? This is baffling.

Praying Michael is found safe and well 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Prayer for Dr Mosley safety. 🙏 ❤❤ 🇬🇧

I am praying for his safety 🙏

In 2019 Dr Mosley is reported he "experienced a transient global amnesia episode after a cold water swim, which left him with temporary memory loss". I wonder if he had another episode.

As a rule I would not go with this but always remember travelling to Gibralta and having spent 15 mins walking had to go back to the hotel and colapsed on the bed for at least 2 hours so yes this is a massive issue and lets hope he has just done something to survive and will come back to us all a.s.a.p. !

How has he just disappeared?? Something not right they would have found his umbrella or something if their was some sort of accident

In the circumstances I can't fathom why he didn't take his mobile phone with him in case of an emergency. Its all very strange.

It's time to face reality. This is now a recovery and nothing more

Such a small island with very little tree coverage .. I cant understand why they have not found him yet?!

You think he would have been very aware of the risks

I didn't realise hot ment more than 40 degrees. If it was that hot for me the mystery is how on Earth an educated person can leave a cool room and go for a walk. I wouldn't even let my husband to get something from a shop. This temperature is insane. Why didn't they realise it was not okay for a walk?

Occasionally, you hear of people wanting to walk out on life...

i really think he fell into the sea off the coastal path, possible heart attack or passed out from the heat 😨

This smells of a heatstroke episode. I used to see it all the time when I worked in the Canary Islands. I hope they find him.

He is a very intelligent man. Had an umbrella and cap to protect from sun, but no phone and walking with conviction in the wrong direction in treturous conditions - sadly i think he knew what he was doing and i dont think he wants to be found.

Currently in Crete and a few days ago the temps hit 43c was 33c today

Terrible. I just don’t understand why people vacation in Hellishly hot places in summer. Doesn’t some place cool appeal at all?

It's the not knowing isn't it. Hopefully he is found soon 🙏🙏

I really hope he is found and has not suffered a heart attack like so many over the last three .

There is something off about this story, apparently he was going back to the villa as he did not feel well. It does not look good, 3 days and no sign. I honestly think the search teams are now looking at a recovery.

I hope what's happened is that he's become overcome by the heat and some local has found him and taken him home to let him recover. He may be with somebody who doesn't know who he is and doesn't realise he's being looked for. I don't know how big that island is or if there are any of the original locals left on it. Could Michael Mosley have found his way to somewhere remote and been taken into a farmhouse?

Sadly I think he,s drowned in the sea. His body will wash up shortly on the coastline.Very sad.

We were in Greece two years ago at this time of the year and it’s really hot 33 - 35 degrees that time. Not a good time for a hike

He may have wanted to disappear. It’s odd to suddenly want to hike in those high temperatures. He may have been picked up and is in hiding somewhere or even off the island.

Something doesn't add up here.Why would you leave your phone behind,and why would you walk in that heat?🤔🤔

He made the journey… they have cctv, he then needed to catch a bus to where he was living, this is where the trail goes cold

Seems almost idyllic that he’s left his wife on a beach with friends on holiday. In a safe place with a nice lasting memory? Left his mobile, brought no notable items. We don’t know what’s gone through this chaps mind. If it was intentional or an accident but either way it’s a deep shame.

People don't realise how easy it is for the body to overheat - moreso with age. Also, rocky areas can be 10° or more hotter than the recorded in shade temperature. It's very easy to get lost on nature paths. Plus, he was carrying a dark umbrella that absorbs heat.

Even with a moderate temperature, those rocks would have sent things baking. Let alone extreme temps.

This is so weird. If he didn't go into the water, he has to be somewhere on the island.

Prayers to the family, in extreme heat, no mobile no water and rocky areas ..poor man its a mystery 🙏

This is so tragic 😮‍💨

What is very odd is that being a GP of considerable experience, Mosely should have been fully aware of the serious risks of not staying hydrated. So why did he not stop for more water at the various opportunities available to him - ?

The local buildings are rental apartments, have they checked he didn't nip into one for water or shelter ?

News just in of his death. Terrible tragedy. He was such an inspiration to people to take better care of their health. Will be sadly missed.😢

So sorry to hear the bad news, but still have hope Dr Mosley will be found safe, cos he's a talented knowledgeable guy, will know how to survived under the bad conditions he's in. IMHO

Praying for the family

Im getting Nicola Bully vibes. Seems though he was a doctor taking care of others who was making sure he was ok

Such a genuine man,he always remind me noble English gentleman like Tony Ben. I pray for him to turn up soon.

there's something more to this story for sure

We are all devastated. Unfortunately, the bad news have already been shared in the Greek media. Dr. Mosley has almost covered the whole distance to the location, and had a nasty fall which is 10 meters away of his final destination.

Praying for him for days - even before the news came out he was on my heart and mind!!

Tragic - the interviewee says he spent 2 hours that day at Agia Marina, the destination of the trail that Mosley took, through a barren landscape of rock under scorching mid-day sun - He says how hot it was at the marina (which has water and some plantings) and that no one there had seen Dr. Mosley - who, in the meantime, must have already been leaning on the outer side of the marine fence. Exposure to elements is so treacherous- how many of us may have taken a risk on short walks, not assessing all the risks?

Didn't he tell his friends that he wasn't feeling well?

Hes dead. Noone can survive that heat without water for 2 days.

He is very cleaver. 5 min in this path , he would realised it is too hot , I have no right shoes or water. I am coming back . Someone closer to the path must have seen something

The blue corner cafe that cctv footage was supposedly taken looks like a different place to where he actually was, it doesn't match?? Odd!

So the wife just let him go in that heat? I would never. And what was he thinking???

Fallen down a well!?

If it's such a small island with very little vegetation why haven't they found him yet with a helicopter and the drones?

He's in my prayers God Bless him and is Family's 🙏🙏🙏

Times radio suprised me not blaming the Russians

RIP Doctor Moseley 🕊️

Is there a Monastry & Windmills up in that area? 2 brothers say they saw him & he had his head in his hands- this though is unverified- but that causes some concern.

Maybe he felt unwell and tried to hide in the shade somewhere

It doesn’t look good now however miracles do happen at times .. My thoughts are with his loved ones.

Dear LOrd Jesus, may this man be found well and alive I pray, Thank You LOrd!,

Rest In Peace 😞🙏🙏♥️♥️

Didnt they say he was seen chatting to someone? Who was that persjn? Noone seems to own up and let us know what mike said to him or her

Could of been kidnapped and taken away from the area. Should of never walked off on his own. We always stay together when on holiday

How do we know he went for a walk on the rocks? The police should check the villa he was staying as well......

A very lovable man - and this is very tragic! WHY isn't there any trace at all after searching for 4 days? A BIG THANK YOU to everyone that is searching!!! SO many questions and I wonder if there will be any answers.... Just can't stop watching the news about every hour.........- but I'm now too scared of what I will find....... I'm now wondering if it's been some sort of a crime? He's a doctor , and he seem to be fit and healthy ......... , and must've known about the terrible heat and to bring water if he went for a walk by himself? I don't get it! And he should have phoned his wife if he went on a boat or left the island , like some people is thinking - from ANY phone ,since he didn't bring his own. Still PRAYING for him!! 🙏 ❤ (and his whole family that is going through this nightmare)

they said he left to walk home because he was feeling "unwell"....dosent sound too good . youd think as a doctor he would have known the signs assuming something was coming on health wise i.e cardiac event etc and wouldnt have embarked on such a walk. hoping he is found soon ...his family must be absolutely horrified.

So so sad 😞

Minute 7:43 right side on the water at about 16:20 theres a small white dot, what is that?

I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY HE WOULDNT HAVE WATER OR GET WATER WHEN HE COULD WHILE PASSING CAFES .WAS HE EXPERIMENTING ON HIMSELF AGAIN . JUST DOESNT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING A DR. WOULD THINK WAS ALLRIGHT TO DO . MAKES IT WORSE HE WASNT FAR FROM HELP ,POOR MAN .R.I.P.DR. MOSELY .❤❤❤

He could be in a house, under a car, in any small area that may appear cool. Heatstroke does really strange things to people’s brains!!

WHY did he leave his phone when he set off alone?! Something fishy here. He had an umbrella for the sun and a hat. But NO phone on him? He said he felt ill. Ill HOW?Too hot? Chest pain? Flu?

FYI, *43 Celsius is 109.4 Fahrenheit.*

Should of had a holiday in cornwall.

When you are out in extreme heat, it doesn't matter how fit you are -- your body can't cool itself, especially without water.

26 miles circumference island .

It’s a good advert for the island and tourism. I know, I’m being very cynical 🤦‍♀️Let’s hope they find him soon🙏🏻

Its such a small island!! The area he is lost in is tiny!! He must have hidden in rocks on that mountain/hill and collapsed there. I hope they find him soon.

I pray that he is found safe and sound. There are cacti that offer much water as they are succulents.

Am I the only one who thinks that none of this adds up? I know we all have different theories etc but something is not quite right but I can't pinpoint what .

How could a doctor be so clueless about the dangers of extreme heat . I have been following events closely ,just horrified by the whole scenario .I am reminded of the famous saying ' only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun ' Rest in peace Dr Mosley

I don't understand why they wouldn't be able to find him.?

Very strange

Why would he have taken off into the mountains , he's a Doctor, he would know not to attempt it, 😞 Hope they find him 🙏❤️

He's just been found dead, Rip and thoughts to the family. Horrible

I blame global warming or brexit one of the two

I hope and pray he will be found safe and well 🙏. I pray that his angel will guide everyone to him and he will be protected. May God keep his family strong at this trying time.
