READ MORE:Jamie Oliver led the heartfelt tributes to 'wonderful' Dr Michael Mosley, after his body was found on the Greek island of Symi on Sunday.
Chef Jamie wrote: 'Rest in peace Michael Mosley…. Absolutely devastating news about the sad loss of fellow tv presenter Micheal Mosley today. What a wonderfully sweet, kind and gentle man he was. 'I’ve interviewed him countless times over the years and he was always the same- kind, interesting, interested and warm. Heartfelt condolences to his loved ones'
Katie Price, Julia Hartley-Brewer, Piers Morgan, Ranvir Singh and Ulrika Jonsson have also paid tribute on their Instagram 'We had an incredibly lucky life together. We loved each other very much and were so happy together. I am incredibly proud of our children, their resilience and support over the past days.
'Some of these people on the island, who hadn't even heard of Michael, worked from dawn till dusk unasked. We're also very grateful to The Press who have dealt with us with great respect.' Petros Vassilakis, a senior police official, confirmed 'it's him', while sources said the father was identified by his personal items and clothes.
'It's no exaggeration to say that over the years Michael's insights - especially his revelation that you CAN reverse type two diabetes - will have extended, and even saved, the lives of countless readers. 'And he always spoke with enormous love and warmth of his wife Clare, his co-author on many projects, and four children Alexander, Jack, Daniel and Katherine.
After around half an hour a party of six firefighters carefully gathered Dr Mosley's body and placed it onto the orange stretcher. It appeared the Mail columnist had walked around the perimeter of the beach bar at Agia Marina and was heading towards the sea. It appeared that he may have been trying to reach the sea as his body was just a few feet from the shore. A source said the distinctive umbrella he had been carrying at the time was close to him.
Waiter Ilias Tsavaris said he had been sent up to have a look following the mayor's alert when he saw the 'glint from a watch' and a body.Police arrived around 20 minutes after it had been discovered - around 100 metres from the shoreline. This is the picture of Dr Mosley posted with an appeal after he went missing while walking on holiday in Greece on WednesdayMayor of Syimi Eleftherios Papakalodouka who alerted the beach resort manager after he thought he saw something 'unusual' from the seaFirefighters on a beach during a search for Dr Mosley yesterday on the Greek island of SymiThe waiter who found the body, Mr Tsavaris, said: 'The mayor had been here to give interviews to the media and then left on a boat to...
In another bizarre twist a police officer at the scene suffered a suspected broken leg as he jumped from a wall close to the body and had to be carried away on a stretcher. Known for his open nature and effervescent personality, he achieved worldwide renown for popularising the 5:2 diet and released a string of best-selling books.
The diet guru's wife, Dr Clare Bailey , a GP and also a columnist for the Mail, raised the alarm after her husband failed to return from a hikePeople known to Dr Mosley and fans of his work have taken to social media to share their heartbreak at the newsMosley's wife, Dr ClareBailey, had been searching the island joined by her British friends.
Dr Mosley and his wife landed on the 25-square-mile island on Tuesday and were due to stay for a week with a couple who have a house in Symi Town. Symi mayor Lefteris Papakalodoukas said the area where the presenter went missing was considered 'difficult as it is quite rocky'. Mr Papakalodoukas told the local paper, Kathimerini, that the high temperatures on the island on Wednesday were 'unbearable' and that 'one could easily faint in such conditions'. An excessive heat warning was issued by the Greek meteorological service on the day Mr Mosley went missing.
In his journalistic career he has worked alongside the likes of John Cleese, Jeremy Clarkson, Professor Robert Winston and Sir David Attenborough. Dr Mosley married Clare in 1987, after meeting in medical school, and they shared four children togetherOn one previous holiday, he ended up in hospital with total memory loss, thanks to a fascination with the health benefits of extreme cold. After interviewing the Dutch guru Wim Hof, who advocates immersing the body in ice-cold water, he decided to test the theory on himself.
Forced into starvation mode, the body starts burning its own fat to survive — so that excess calories pass through the system instead of turning to flab. 'That was a nasty shock,' he said, 'because my overweight dad had developed diabetes in his 50s and died of diabetes-related illnesses at the relatively young age of 74. I didn't want to go down the same path.
'This was revolutionary stuff,' he said, 'as most doctors believe type 2 diabetes is incurable and that the only way to treat it is with drugs.' Known for his open nature, Dr Mosley did not shy away from discussing the worst threat to his health — chronic insomnia, caused by stress as well as a genetic predisposition. 'I suffer from catastrophic thinking,' he told the Mail five years ago.
'Would I ever kill myself? I would not rule it out. I can imagine things going badly wrong, a catastrophic illness, a stroke, a cancer. I would not want to be a burden but it would utterly depend on Clare. It's a decision I would take with her.' After that, though, he felt uncomfortable even in lifts and planes, and was unable to go through with an MRI brain examination inside a coffin-like scanner.
