The search for Dr. Michael Mosley, a well-known 67-year-old British TV doctor and advocate for healthy living, has intensified as it enters its fourth day on the Greek island of Symi. Dr. Mosley, who disappeared while taking a walk along a rocky coastal path near the village of Pedi on Wednesday, has prompted a widespread search operation involving local authorities, drones, helicopters, and rescue dogs. Despite the efforts, there has been no sign of him and the scorching heat, with temperatures reaching 40C, has exacerbated the urgency of the search and posed additional challenges for the rescue teams. Local residents and the mayor of Symi, Eleftherios Papakaloudoukas, have expressed their concern and are assisting in the search. New CCTV footage shows Dr. Mosley walking with an umbrella towards a rocky path, and his route has been tracked using surveillance cameras. Dr. Mosley’s wife, Dr. Clare Bailey Mosley, along with their four adult children, have joined the search efforts. The family remains hopeful, with Dr. Clare Bailey issuing a statement of hope and gratitude for the tireless efforts of those involved. The U.K. government is in contact with Greek authorities, and the investigation continues.
