The body of missing British TV presenter Michael Mosley has been found on a Greek island after a days-long search, his family has confirmed.
The British television presenter disappeared while on holiday on the island of Symi, which is on the eastern side of the Aegean Sea and about 6.5 kilometres from Turkey.
A police spokesman, who spoke on condition of anonymity yesterday (last night AEST) because of an ongoing investigation, said a body was found on a rocky coast by a private boat and that formal identification was pending.
Mosley’s wife said in a statement released hours later that her husband took the wrong route on a hike and collapsed in a place where his body couldn’t easily be seen.
“Michael was an adventurous man, it’s part of what made him so special,” Dr Clare Bailey Mosley said.
“It’s devastating to have lost Michael, my wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband. We had an incredibly lucky life together. We loved each other very much and were so happy together.”
