Michael Mosley missing: Greek rescue teams ‘struggling with the temperatures’ 

Hotter and drier in Victoria this past summer. As for walking in that heat. Not on your Nelly.

With him being a doctor you’d of thought he’d of known

I wonder if there is any substance to the saying 'Englishmen go out in the midday sun'. England does not experience such temperatures so may be he just did not realise the danger.

@@user-tq2kq7xk7j he was a dr and anybody with half a brain knows what you do in hot weather, I don’t think it’s anything to do with being an English man.

@@user-tq2kq7xk7j that in 2024 I'm not buying.

Many people from northern Europe do not understand the dangers of very hot weather. Even when local warn them they do not listen.

Good comment and advice! I struggled with the heat the last time I visited Greece. Of course you're told beforehand that it's hot but experiencing it is another thing. Thank you to all the Greek search teams that looked for Dr Moseley. Sadly, it's been reported that a body has now been found.

He’s committed suicide

I agree. I am Spanish, born in the Mediterranean coast, even the most experts and locals don't go out in this weather but he is a doctor, he must know all of this

Best not to go out between noon and 4pm in extreme temperature. This was a great man, who has changed the life of soo many people world wide. it’s all very sad no matter what happened.

Why didn't someone go with him?

​@@ira4600. I'm sure his wife will be torturing herself with that question for ever more.

This goes against what witnesses have said where he was apparently at the bus stop in Pedi umbrella in hand.

Or just be alone in the hotel room that he was walking back to. For sure something isn’t right with his disappearance. I pray he comes home safely

Exactly, especially as weather conditions were so hot. He could have sat in a cafe with air conditioning and had a cool drink. Also made sure he had enough water and rest.

I believe the body has now been found in a cave

@@ashleybennett8227is it warm?

@@ashleybennett8227 no they found him close to a beach, he fell from the path.

@@mpmcdude1980hello, where can I read this news, please?

They have found him dead sadly.

Not formally identified yet

Seen a local comment on yt that the restaurant closed early because its not yet high season. Awful to think he may have tried the restaurant but found it closed and wandered a bit further on to sit somewhere and passed out. If that's the case and there was no fall involved it really does show in awful stark truth the fine margins involved in surviving extreme heat. As you say let's hope he didn't suffer.

Used to do a 20 click forced march in that sort of heat. It really isn't that hot.

​@Kokoda144 I'd say that's relative and you must be incredibly fit to find temperature ranging from 35°C to 45°C (what I've heard reported), "not that hot." Hottest temperature I've faced was 46.4°C and it was shocking.

@@loretta_3843 people walk around Melbourne in that heat, or even the Australian zoo. people work in that heat in the northern territory, not all of them are iron men

@@Kokoda144 I'm from Melbourne and my heart sinks when I see weather forecast up in those ranges. Sure, we get around in it, but I've never met many that like it!😄

@@Kokoda144Most people are not young, motivated and fit military males, are they? 🤔

I agree and I also wondering how come his wife and friends didn’t come with or let him leave on his own; particularly as he had said he was unwell. Maybe they didn’t realise he planned to take the rough path across the mountains?! In any case who does that in that heat ( not being used to it) and with the extensive knowledge he has as a Dr it seems a very peculiar choice.

Fishy I say.

His body has been found in a cave 😢

Suicide- he was a known depressive.

​@pam164 I hope this is sarcasm, but sadly, I don't think it is.

They don't know it's him yet

@@neildyer4433 found with an umbrella. Unlikely to be anyone else! RIP fella.

Probably no foul play here but I can't help wondering if that area is unspoiled by potentially dangerous people arriving (unchecked)via boat and alike.

@@neildyer4433 Really?

​@GillMunchen-xs2bl Grow up for goodness sake.

There are plenty of aspects of society that deserve a huge dollop of healthy cynicism, but the tragic case of a person making a bad judgement call, and inadvertantly under heat stress becoming disorientated and turning a bad situation into a tragedy doesn't fell like one of those. And that's coming from someone who is never without his own tin foil hat.

His dead body has been found in a cave,, not sure why he went in a cave, unless to get out the heat and passed out and then died of dehydration

Extremely unlikely.

@@tonyburton419 Still feels rather odd that he's a well renowned doctor and a smart one at that - and yet he did all this and disappeared from the face of the earth with no phone on him to contact anyone if he's in some manner of danger a doctor mind you - he was all alone and died for not taking precautions like that if that doesnt look like a suicide attempt, i dunno what is

@@Cruddy129 He was a doctor. He could have got his hands on all sorts of drugs to assist suicide. I don't think he would have chosen to wander around for days walking in the heat to die of dehydration. Just a tragic accident I think.

Is that true??

'Mad Dogs and Englishmen go out in the Midday Sun' perhaps because our weather is generally bleak, some of us crave sunshine and try to get the most out of it while on holiday, others crave suntans and because we come from a weather battered island in the North Atlantic we don't have the rules or habits of say a siesta drummed into us like you probably did .... and at 40ºC, it probably makes you a bit mad and you make bad decisions? Sorry to the family.

@@Ray-555 So is this all you're gonna say when someone die? Just vaccinated recently and call it a day? You should be a detective

he would have definitely lived atleast another 20 years.. its unfortunated

Indeed. RIP x

Very bizarre , there are co incidences and co incidences

A local here.. A TV crewmember (camera operator) from ERT (Hellenic public Radio & TV) saw something small but black and took shots to be analyzed on shore. The mayor happened to be sitting next to him. They were looking at deserted shorelines again and caves. The cameraman was actually in tears when British reporter interviewed him. The restaurant nearby closed early unfortunately, it's not high season yet. This beach is only accessible by boat, not foot, not car. (Saint Marina) And his hand was on his chest. Not stomach. Friends, never be anywhere alone, diving, hiking, whatever. Espec in extreme conditions, 43+ celcius, no foliage to take cover, no existing path, just rocks everywhere, no mobile, a bottle of water won't last long.. A truly sad turn of events, we Greeks were hoping for a small miracle. May he rest in peace, prayers for his family. 🙏

@@LM-eu8le Lovely to read a warm, kind human comment. Quite a few unkind comments in these threads. What's wrong with some people. Kindest regards to you all on Symi from the UK.

@@Ray-555 But he knew his stuff - he couldnt have been this ill equipped when going into places he has little knowledge about

The Abyss.... how ironic.

That is very sad as we know it has to be him My heart goes out to his family It's a beautiful place he could have gone back for his ph perhaps...

@@leestanyer7300 What would a ph do?

@@Archiesquaddy Or apt?

@garylovell6017 if I dropped my ph at the beach I would go back and look for it was what I meant So sad 😞

AirTag? Are you ok? You need other iPhones around for that to work. Horrible advice

Ikr? Surely they can put the jacket in a rucksack or something. I would be sweltering

Yeah, well before I lived in the Persian gulf, I always wondered why everyone went around in long sleeves, incl men. Counter intuitive right? Well, It keeps the SCORCHING heat out! Believe it or not..

@@LM-eu8le Yes, thin cottton. Not thick work jackets

He wasn't found in a cavern... He was lying in then open, on rocky broken ground on the surface next to a fence.

im more interested in knowing who tf cares about this rich celeb going missing? is he really that important? is there any other news, or am i going to have to sit and deal with my homepage spammed with this horseshit.

@@SlappoLS Get off the Internet and breathe some air then.

@@SlappoLS Describing news of a missing person search as 'horseshit' unfortunately shows an all too common attitude in an era where concern for others is sadly lacking.

A wonderful human being has gone.may he rest in peace What I can,t understand is his wife is a Doctor why did,nt she stop him from going for the walk and why leaving his moble🤔.maybe theres more to this story than we know.God bless all the family 🙏

@@SlappoLS wouldn’t really class him as a typical celebrity. He was a qualified medical doctor who came to fame relatively late in his life; not just somebody from a manufactured boy band or famous for being famous on a “reality” tv programme. He’s helped thousands and possibly millions of people in his lifetime.

strange he never took his phone and didnt seem to have any water .

@@dot2562his wife said he had a bottle of water in his rucksack

He had left his phone at home, we do that when we are on holidays so that we are not wasting holiday time on gadgets. I wonder why they don’t start to search the homes and boats. It’s a weird world, he is rich and famous, you would need to consider that.

@@katrinawong8273is that a little short sighted? What happens if you get into an emergency?

@@TVIDS123 For my point of view, I survived the first 50 years without a phone, my phone was on the wall. We walked miles to school and back without them, when we said we would meet you somewhere at 6pm, we would be there a 6 pm. We have become addicted to our phones and become totally useless without them. No one goes completely out with family and friends any more or on work leave or holidays because of our reliance on these gadgets. We go with our phones and they are so intrusive. It’s just our choice. I started doing this when I left my phone at home accidentally on a holiday and after the initial absolute mental breakdown, decided to embrace it. Sad news, just heard a body has been found. I think we all wanted a miracle.

He wasn't in the "cave complex". That is CLUELESS cretinous juvenile reporters misreporting events.

They found a body.

Temps are usually measured in the shade. Go outside in 31° temps, and stand in full sun without shade and dependent on the surroundings you will then find they can easily reach high 30°s.

Just read about it sadly.

Really ?

@@naomichisholm7709 Yes its on all Sunday morning news

If you look at the area its very rocky borken ground with low lying scrub vegitation. VERY easy to go unnoticed.... it was pure chance that he was spotted from a boat a short distance off the coast.

In that island? Abduction? No way…

Abduction on a tiny island during a heatwave ? 😂

They said he didn't feel well

He left his phone at his friends that day

@@lindamcdonaldcairns9874 ah didn't know that

Maybe he wanted to challenge himself - show himself he could do it. Strange though, I'm not far off his age and temps in high 30s wipe me out

People often just assume they’ll be fine when they go for a hike in the mountains, unfortunately it only takes one slip up for it all to go very very wrong. Which is why taking a means of contacting emergency services or people you know is so important. I hope they find him alive but it’s really not looking good.

@@ira4600 Yes and not tell his family SMH

@@CMEAGAIN there may have been an argument. Why did nobody go back with him if he said he didn't feel well?

I know, it's all VERY strange!

@@deedeedoes818 maybe go buy one is Easiler for them
