Dr Michael Mosley, a doctor known for popularising Intermittent Fasting and for subjecting himself to various medical tests on TV, has disappeared from the Greek island of Symi.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06...ch-continues-as-cctv-provides-clues/103954200

“CCTV images have been released showing missing British TV doctor Michael Mosley about 20 minutes after he was last seen by his wife on a Greek island earlier this week.

“The 67-year-old left his wife on a beach on the island of Symi about 1:30pm on Wednesday, local time.

“Mosley set off from Agios Nikolaos beach towards the fishing village of Pedi.

“The CCTV images appear to show Mosley wearing a cap and holding an umbrella in the main street of Pedi at 1:52pm.”


More details at link.

Anyone else following this story?
 
Following the story and it's all puzzling. Now there's apparently CCTV showing him setting off towards the mountains so maybe they've been looking in the wrong place.

From my OP:

“The CCTV images appear to show Mosley wearing a cap and holding an umbrella in the main street of Pedi at 1:52pm.”

Do you have a link to where they’ve found more CCV footage and that it shows him going towards the mountains?
 
Its all rather odd. To leave his wife on the beach and decide to walk "to the centre of the island" in the heat of the Greek mid-day sun with apparently just a parasol to protect himself, and without a phone in a dodgy terrain, seems out of the character, at least with the one we see on TV.

If he had water, and most tourists trekking with the heat for any length of time, would usually carry some, he might stand a chance if he had an accident and couldn't walk.

The locals say its odd too, and that its difficult for a child to get lost on Symi, let alone an adult male.
 
It is very odd that someone would do that, but we do know he’s a risk-taker. One clip on TV I saw showed him swallowing a tapeworm for one of his diet experiments, for example.
 
He's a local to my area, several people I know also know him slightly, met him in pubs etc, mainly The Standard, one is a good friend with a family he has gone on holiday with before. they think he may have been at that family's villa on the island. So as you can imagine a lot of local interest, he seems to have been what he comes across on the radio and telly, a nice guy, who genuinely wants to help people live better lives.

That wasn't really a sign of a risk taker, it was a monitored controlled experiment.

My quick check on Google Maps shows the whole island is barely ten kilometers across, and the distance from tiny seaside village of Pedi to the main harbour is perhaps only one kilometer. So this is a bit like losing someone in a large paddock with no way out, filled with people.

I can see why the locals think it would be hard for a child to get lost. The countryside is definitely rocky and steep, but it is also bare. So even a stray sheep or dog, let alone a human, would probably be easily seen with binoculars.

I suspect something odd is happening here. And definitely not alien spaceships odd. I just hope he isn't injured and sheltering out of the heat where he can't be seen.

Is it possible he's testing out the health benefits of intermittent existing?

I think there's an RFK Jr. joke in there someplace, but I haven't quite assembled all the pieces yet.
No matter what, I don't think the worm should be ruled out in any fashion.
 
Dead for "several days" in an area "rescuers had searched that area everyday with helicopters". Curious.
