Coroner rules Michael Mosley’s cause of death ‘unascertainable’

·

The death of TV presenter Michael Mosley has been officially recorded indeterminate, which was described as “unascertainable” by a UK coroner.

According to ABC, Crispin Butler, senior coroner for Buckinghamshire, concluded that the cause of death was “most likely attributable either to heat stroke (accidental) or a non-identified pathological cause.”

Mosley, 67, went missing while on holiday in June on the Greek island of Symi. After a five-day search, his body was found in rocky terrain near the sea, suggesting he may have fallen down a slope. The post-mortem examination at the time revealed no signs of injury, supporting the conclusion that his death was due to natural causes.

According to Butler’s written findings, Mosley had set off for a walk on the island, leaving his mobile phone behind to prevent it from getting wet. Described as “energetic and cheerful,” he carried a rucksack with water and a biscuit, as well as a hat and umbrella. He chose to walk back to his accommodation instead of taking the ferry.

The coroner confirmed there was no evidence of homicide, suicide or trauma. “Michael’s death was classified as indeterminate,” Butler stated, emphasising the possibility of a medical event or non-traumatic accident. Toxicology tests showed no notable findings.

Mosley was widely known in the UK for his BBC programs, including Trust Me, I’m a Doctor, and for co-authoring The Fast Diet, a best-selling book on intermittent fasting.
