Except his own...
Bizarre that you’d put so much effort into prolonging your life via your approach to health and then take such risks.

Interesting. A friend of mine recently passed away aged mid sixties (had an aggressive form of cancer that came on quickly, he otherwise seemed very healthy) and the overwhelming view was that this was a young age for him to be taken.
Where abouts do you live?
It can, but it might not. The D Day commemoration coverage showed that some people are still doing remarkably well despite being over 100 years old.
Could be anything. Good friend of mine in extremely good health died in his sleep last year. Turned out he had an aggressive brain cancer, never knew about it.

About retirement age is not what I'd consider a good innings.

Especially when the average is 80 or so.

It's sad news indeed and unfortunately was always going to be the likely outcome. I enjoy watching his TV programs.
RIP Doctor Michael

So sad. He helped a lot of people in his life through his life in a lot of ways and seemed a genuinely lovely guy. A tragic death. Feel so sorry for his family. RIP Michael, you will be missed

Oh dear RIP Michael Mosley.
What an idiot! He would still alive if he gone back home and had a lie down after felt unwell. Cant believed he decided to walked to the wrong side of Agia Marina beach and collapsed 10 metres from shore behind the fence as kids played balls near the fence completed unaware Michael was there behind the fence probably faint or blackout then dying of dehydration as 200 people walked, people swam, boats, drones and emergency helicopter passed Michael 20 TIMES since Wednesday and he probably died 2 days ago.
How on earth did people at Agia Marina beach searched for him did not noticed his body and his purple umbrella? I find it really strange Michael did not yell for help after he fainted on Wednesday. His wife or Agia Marina beach bar man would found him if he had mobile phone with him then he would texted wife for help after collapsed.

Just shows how easily your life can be taken away in an instant.
What makes it so much worse is that he was a medical doctor, therefore knew exactly how intense heat could affect the human body, and he was 67. Plus like you said why didn't he take his mobile with him. Even a non-medically trained person would know to avoid doing what he did in those temperatures, it's like that phrase "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun".Oh dear RIP Michael Mosley.

They say he looked confused in his CCTV footage. He had a mini stroke earlier in the year when he kept asking if it was 2017 and he kept trying to remember his children's names. Heatstroke can also cause confusion.
According to this article:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/...ip-sea-left-wife-fearing-suffered-stroke.html he had transient global amnesia brought on by cold-water swimming, not a stroke.

I had heatstroke in Seville. Took the wrong turn and ended up about three km away where I was supposed to. Fortunately one of the bus terminals was 3 min walk from hotel and saw a bus with that name on it.
Unfortunately for Dr Mosley there are no buses on Symi with a population of 2.5k.
