The search operation for Dr Michael Mosley has been branded "absurd" after the star's body was just 100 yards from a restaurant. The beloved TV personality was tragically found on the Greek island of Symi on Sunday.
The 67-year-old had been missing for several days. However, he was found a mere 150 yards from an area previously searched by his four adult children Alexander, Jack, Daniel, and Katherine, who had flown out to assist.
Symi mayor Eleftherios Papakalodoukas led media to Agia Marina via a 15-minute water taxi ride, but as they departed for Pedi, he noticed something unusual and alerted staff at a nearby beach restaurant, it is reported. Dr Mosley's body was found off a designated path, bordered by barbed wire, with his backpack located approximately 20ft further up the rocky hillside.
A police officer at the scene sustained a suspected broken leg after jumping from a wall near the body and had to be stretchered away. Questions linger as to why it took so long to locate the popular broadcaster. A helicopter and a sniffer dog from Athens were drafted in.
As reported in the Mirror, Greek authorities initially speculated that Dr Mosley may have fallen into the sea or been bitten by a venomous snake on the island. However, the search shifted inland after CCTV footage surfaced on Friday afternoon showing him holding an umbrella while walking through Pedi town.
By Saturday, the search was concentrated on the path to Agia Marina, with teams scouring the rocky area above a dangerous underwater cave system known locally as the Abyss. At one stage, teams seemed to be approximately 50 yards from where the body was eventually discovered.
