The BBC has been told that the first autopsy on Dr. Michael Mosley’s body showed that he died of natural causes.

Thursday, the TV host went missing while on vacation. On Sunday, his body was found in a rocky area on the Greek island of Symi.

An official from the Greek police told the BBC that the first autopsy showed that he had no injuries that could have led to his death.

Dr. Mosley died around 16:00 (14:00 BST) on Wednesday, the day he was last seen.
On Wednesday at about 13:30 local time (11:30 BST), the 67-year-old father of four went for a walk from Agios Nikolaos beach, which is close to where he was staying on the northeast side of the island.

He was reported missing that same day.
The police were called when Dr. Mosley’s wife, Dr. Clare Bailey Mosley, did not come home.

Police, firefighters, divers, and even a helicopter were used by the Greek government to search for Dr. Mosley in very hot weather.
The mayor of the island “saw something” by the bar’s fence and told staff, according to the PA news agency.

The manager of a bar on Agia Marina beach, which is farther north along the coast from where Dr. Mosley started, found his body.
Police said they first thought Dr. Mosley had died of natural causes because of how his body was found and the fact that it was not hurt.
New orders have been placed for separate toxicology and histology reports.
CCTV footage from near the Agia Marina beach bar that was shown to the BBC seems to show Dr. Mosley slowly making his way down a hillside near where his body was later found. After that, he falls behind a wall and can’t be seen.

This past Sunday, Dr. Bailey Mosley said that her family was “taking comfort in the fact” that her husband had “so very nearly made it” to safety.
“He did an incredible climb, took the wrong route and collapsed where he couldn’t be easily seen by the extensive search team,” she wrote in a statement.

She also said nice things about her “wonderful, funny, kind, and brilliant” husband after hearing the “devastating” news that his body had been found.
Dr. Bailey Mosley said, “We were so lucky to have had a life together.”
“We loved each other very much and were so happy together.”
Lord Tom Watson, who used to be the deputy leader of the Labour Party, was one of the people who paid tribute to Dr. Mosley again on Monday.
“He changed my life for sure.” Mr. Watson told BBC Radio 4’s Today show in 2018 that he had “reversed” his type 2 diabetes through diet and exercise. “He gave me the idea that I wasn’t broken,” he said.

Dr. Mosley went to medical school in London and became a doctor. For the past 20 years, he has worked as a host, documentary maker, journalist, and author.
People knew him from TV shows like “Trust Me,” “I’m a Doctor,” and the podcast “Just One Thing” on BBC Radio 4. He had a column in the Daily Mail too.
Among other things, Mr. Mosley pushed intermittent fasting diets, such as the 5:2 diet and The Fast 800 diet.
Dr. Saleyha Ahsan, who co-hosted Trust Me, I’m a Doctor with Dr. Mosley, told BBC’s Breakfast that she was “terrified” to take on the role at first, but that he “put me at ease almost immediately.”
In addition, she said, “That really friendly and approachable TV character was exactly how he was in real life.”
I don’t think many other people have done as much great work for medicine and public health as he did.

It was “like a light came on in my life” the first time Lord Watson read a book by Dr. Mosley, he said.
“I just became a real fan of his work and, over the years, he’s helped me maintain that and help millions of others,” he added.
“And that’s what great journalism is: he explained very complex ideas of science in a very simple way.”
“It is a tragedy, there’s no doubt about it,” Alan Yentob, who used to be the creative director of the BBC and worked closely with Dr. Mosley, told BBC News. However, for many, he brings back memories of how greatly he changed their lives.
He called Dr. Mosely “an adventurer” with a “curious and creative” mind and said that he would leave behind a “incredible legacy.”
He said, “He made people feel like there was a real chance to change things and that the challenge was fun and exciting as well.”
Dr. Chris van Tulleken, a science broadcaster who worked with Dr. Mosley, said that Dr. Mosley had created “an entire genre of broadcasting” during his career.
He also said that Dr. Mosley’s work “quietly changed my daily practices.” For example, he gave up brushing his teeth while standing on one leg and sometimes went without food.
He told BBC Radio 4’s Today show, “He was giving people tools they could use that everyone could afford.”
Calypso Haggett, Dr. Mosley’s business partner and CEO of The Fast 800 weight-loss program, called him a “shining light for the whole team” in a statement.
“I had the great honor of working with and getting to know Michael personally and professionally.” “He was really, truly unique, and everyone will miss him very much,” Ms. Haggett said.
“Michael has left an incredible legacy, which I know will live on and energise a continuous movement for better health.”
Police in Downing Street said that Dr. Mosley would be remembered “as an amazing broadcaster who used his platform to change the way we think about many public health issues.”
