Doesn't bode.

Hope there's a good outcome.

 

[Bassmansam]

I enjoyed watching his channel 4 series on people that eat too much a few months ago. Hope he is okay.

 

[robfosters]

Damn, I like him, that eating programme he did was excellent

Wishing all the best

Michael Mosley: TV presenter missing on Greek island of Symi

Mr Mosley went missing on Wednesday after going for a walk while on holiday on the Greek island of Symi.

Phone was in their holiday home. If that's not something he often does, like my better half, that doesn't bode well. Plus the fact emergency services have been looking for him for just over 24 hours.

He was one of the better tv personality doctors, I hope he gets found alive & well but not lookin good

Whoa....I would never leave the phone behind. Especially on holiday in a new unfamiliar environment. Unless the walk he went on is in his back garden.

 

[Uther]

That isn't good

 

[Ayahuasca]

I just had a look at the island on Google Street View and got strong ARMA III vibes.

Anyway, I hope he's found safe, but it doesn't look good with some of the earlier details.

Every year the same. Sun hits like a freight train between 12 and 5 pm it doesn't take long to faint.

Please stay under the shade, don't move much, enjoy your Greek frappe and salad so you can come home safe and if you must walk somewhere during those times never do it alone.

There is a very good reason siesta is a thing.

Doesn’t sound good.

Forgot it or intended not to take it with him.

100%, did a bit of gardening over the weekend, while it was nice around midday and even at 20C it didn't take long before I was sweating and panting. This involved digging and pulling at things (no) with quite a bit of force though

 

[UTmaniac]

In a roundabout way, this story has reminded me about setting up that Google maps option on the mobile, for tracking friends and family.

 

[tenofspades]

it's surreal, he's such a well known face. Island is only small : 65km2.

My initial thought was perhaps slipping on coast path into the sea, but 1 news report said he went walking towards the centre of the island from St Nicolas beach. Seems a strange thing to do, given the centre of the island is pretty barren.
Unless its a translation error and they meant the main / capital town.

 

[robfosters]

Looking at it on maps, it looks a very dry barren landscape. Not hard to get overwhelmed by heat, especially if he didn’t have a big cool bottle of water

 

[Thekwango]

(no)

Yea yea we believe you

Hope the guy that’s missing is found ok but it sounds ominous

 

[Freakbro]

I genuinely don't know who this is.

Nonetheless, I hope there's a positive outcome to this but the phone left behind isn't good.

Would have thought if that had happened though they'd probably find him easily with a search, there isn't a lot of thick cover by the looks of it, etc.
