British TV presenter and doctor Michael Mosley has been found dead on the Greek island of Symi. His body was located in a rocky area just feet away from his destination, according to local authorities. The discovery concluded a four-day search that included efforts from aircraft, drones, and sniffer dogs.

Mosley, known for popularizing the 5-2 intermittent fasting diet, had been missing since he went for a walk alone along a coastal path in intense heat. A police official reported that the body, believed to be Mosley's, was found in the area of Aegea Marina, opposite the beach of Aegeos Nikolaos, where he began his walk.

The local mayor of Symi noted that the discovery of Mosley's body was made while the area was being filmed from a vessel. The body was then transferred to the neighboring island of Rhodes for further tests. A coroner at the scene ruled out any criminal activity but was unable to determine the exact cause of death.

Mosley was on the island with his wife, and his children had arrived two days after his disappearance. Following the announcement of his death, there has been an outpouring of condolences on social media.
