On Wednesday afternoon, CCTV footage was released showing the last known sighting of Michael Mosley, a British doctor and television presenter who went missing on the small eastern Aegean island of Symi. The Greek police have launched a major search for Mosley, who disappeared while on a walk.
The footage captures Mosley in the nearby village of Pedi, just 20 minutes after he had left Agios Nikolaos beach in Symi. He can be seen standing on the main street, holding an umbrella. The police have reported that the coast guard, police, and fire department are all involved in the search, along with a helicopter, drones, and a police sniffer dog.
Despite their efforts, the search was called off at 8pm and will resume on Saturday morning. So far, there has been no trace of the 67-year-old who was on vacation on the island. Authorities have focused their search on the area between Agios Nikolaos and the main town of Symi. They have also looked into the possibility that Mosley may have left the island, but have found no evidence of this.
The British Foreign Office has confirmed that they are in contact with the Greek authorities regarding the search for Mosley. In the UK, Mosley is well-known for his regular appearances on television and radio, as well as his column in the Daily Mail newspaper. Outside of the UK, he is known for his 2013 book The Fast Diet, which he co-authored with journalist Mimi Spencer. The book introduced the "5:2 diet", which involves restricting calorie intake for two days a week while maintaining a healthy diet for the other five days.
Since then, Mosley has also introduced the Fast 800 diet, a rapid weight loss program, and has created several films about diet and exercise. He is known for pushing his body to extreme lengths to test the effects of his diets, including living with tapeworms in his gut for six weeks for a BBC documentary.
Friends and colleagues of Mosley have expressed their shock and concern over his disappearance. Professor Roy Taylor, who co-authored The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet with Mosley, said, "This shocking news brings our thoughts to Michael's wife Clare and their sons. We hope that he will be found safely."
In 2002, Mosley was nominated for an Emmy for his role as executive producer on the BBC science documentary The Human Face, presented by Monty Python star John Cleese and featuring famous faces such as Elizabeth Hurley, Pierce Brosnan, and David Attenborough. Mosley and his wife Clare, who is also a doctor, author, and health columnist, have four children together.
