Last year, Doctor Michael Mosley had the opportunity to film a TV show for Channel 5. However, following his recent passing, there is now uncertainty surrounding the future of the show. The network is currently deciding whether to air it or not. This comes as tragic news over the weekend, as the beloved TV doctor was confirmed dead at the age of 67. After a lengthy search, his body was found on the Greek island of Symi. His wife had raised the alarm when he went missing on Wednesday, and rescue teams worked tirelessly in sweltering temperatures to try and find him. Sadly, it is believed that he died on the same day he disappeared due to natural causes.
Before his untimely death, Mosley was preparing to make his debut on Channel 5 with a three-part series titled Wonders of the Human Body. In this show, he set out to decode the mysteries of the human body and encourage viewers to look at their own bodies in new ways, particularly as they age. Mosley, who was always willing to be a guinea pig and test theories on himself, had announced the series last autumn. However, with his passing, the network cannot confirm whether the show will still air. They have stated that it is too early to make any decisions and that they will consult with Mosley's family before moving forward.
Speaking about the project in September, Mosley expressed his excitement for the series, saying, "This was a fascinating series to make and I learned a lot about the workings of the human body in general, and my own in particular, which I am looking forward to sharing." The founder of TV indie Storyboard, Natalie Humphreys, also shared her enthusiasm for the show, stating that the aim was to make the science of the human body relatable and appealing to a broad audience. She added, "There's so much we still don't know and discoveries are being made all the time, so making this new series is exciting for us."
Throughout his life, Mosley was a familiar face in the world of TV and radio, regularly offering medical advice on shows such as Loose Women, Lorraine, and BBC Radio. He was also one of the first reporters on The One Show, joining the programme in 2007. On Monday night, presenter Alex Jones paid tribute to him as a "dear friend and colleague." Mosley also had his own shows and podcasts, including Trust Me, I'm a Doctor on BBC2 and Who Made Britain Fat? and The Secrets of the Big Shop on Channel 4.
Mosley is survived by his wife, Clare, who is also a doctor and health writer, and their four children. All of them flew to Symi to aid in the search when he went missing. In a statement, Clare expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from people all over the world. She described her late husband as "wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant" and said they had an "incredibly lucky life together." She added, "I am incredibly proud of our children, their resilience and support over the past days." She also shared that the family takes comfort in knowing that Mosley "so very nearly made it" on his climb.
Despite his adventurous spirit, it seems that Mosley's death was not the result of any criminal activity. A post-mortem report showed no signs of injury that would indicate foul play. The coroner stated that the condition of his body made it difficult to determine an exact cause of death. It is believed that he sat down and passed away, as there was no evidence of being hit by something or collapsing while walking. This information contradicts previous theories that Mosley may have fallen off a cliff or been injured at sea.
