Search Launched for Dr. Michael Mosley, Missing on Greek Island of Symi

A massive search operation is underway for Dr. Michael Mosley, the renowned Mail columnist and TV diet guru, who has gone missing after embarking on a coastal walk on the picturesque Greek holiday island of Symi. The 67-year-old, known for his appearances on television programs like This Morning and The One Show, as well as hosting the BBC’s Just One Thing health podcast, set off hiking along St. Nicholas Beach on Symi at 13:30 on Wednesday.

Dr. Mosley’s wife, Dr. Clare Bailey, raised the alarm when he failed to return by 19:30. Local authorities immediately began tracing his route overnight but were unable to locate him. Fearing that he may have “fallen from a height,” police have scrambled a search and rescue team from Athens, equipped with drones and sophisticated equipment, to extend the operation.
