Police say the post-mortem report found that the presenter died of natural causes.

The BBC has been told that an initial post-mortem examination of the body of Dr Michael Mosley has concluded that he died of natural causes.

The TV presenter’s remains were found on a rocky area off the Greek island of Symi on Sunday – four days after she went missing while on holiday.

Greek police spokeswoman Constantia Dimoglidou told the BBC that an initial post-mortem found no signs of injury on his body that could have caused his death.

Dr Mosley’s time of death was around 16:00 (14:00 BST) on Wednesday, the day he went missing.

The 67-year-old father of four went missing after he went for a walk at Agios Nikolaos beach (where he lived in the north-eastern part of the island) at around 13:30 local time (11:30 IST) on Wednesday.

Dr Mosley’s wife, Dr Claire Bailey Mosley, raised the alarm when her husband didn’t call back.

Greek authorities conducted an extensive search for Dr Mosley, deploying police officers, firefighters, divers and a helicopter amid high temperatures.

According to the PA news agency, the manager of a bar on Agia Marina beach, north of Dr Mosley’s departure point, found his body after the island’s mayor “saw something” near the bar’s fence and alerted staff.

Police said Dr. Mosley had died of natural causes, a conclusion drawn based on the condition of his body and the lack of injuries.

Separate toxicology and histology reports have now been ordered.

The BBC has seen CCTV footage from near the Agia Marina beach bar which shows Dr Mosley slowly walking down the hill where his body was later found. He then falls behind a wall and disappears.

Dr. Bailey Mosley said Sunday that her family was “feeling comforted” by the fact that her husband was “very close” to safety.

“He made an incredible climb, took the wrong route, and fell in a place where the extensive search team could not easily see him,” they said in a statement.

Dr Bailey Mosley also paid tribute to her “amazing, funny, kind and talented” husband after she received the “devastating” news that his body had been found.

“We’ve had an incredibly lucky life together,” Dr. Bailey Mosley said.

“We loved each other very much and were very happy together.”

Lord Tom Watson, the former deputy leader of the Labour Party, was among those to pay tribute to Dr Mosley on Monday.

“He definitely changed my life. He gave me the idea that I’m not broken,” Mr Watson said. Said in 2018 that he had “reversed” his type 2 diabetes He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that the body can be kept healthy through diet and exercise.

Dr Mosley studied medicine in London and qualified as a doctor, and has spent the past two decades working as a presenter, documentary maker, journalist and author.

He was best known for his TV appearances including Trust Me, I’m a Doctor and BBC Radio 4’s Just One Thing podcast. He also wrote a column for the Daily Mail.

Mr Mosley has been a proponent of intermittent fasting diets, including the 5:2 Diet and the Fast 800 Diet.

Dr Saleha Ahsan, who co-presented Trust Me, I’m a Doctor with Dr Mosley, told the BBC Breakfast programme that she was initially “terrified” about taking on the role but that he “put me at ease almost immediately”.

He added, “He’s a really friendly, approachable character that he comes across on television; he was exactly that in real life as well.”

“He did incredible things for medicine and public health that I think very few people have done.”

Lord Watson recalled the moment he first read Dr Mosley’s book, saying it was “like a light shining into my life”.

“I became a true fan of his work and over the years he has helped me continue doing this and help millions of others,” he said.

“And that’s what great journalism is: He explained complex ideas of science in a very simple way.”

Former BBC creative director Alan Yentob, who worked closely with Dr Mosley during his time at the broadcaster, told BBC News: “It’s a tragedy, there’s no doubt about that. But for many people, it’s a reminder of how extraordinarily he helped to change their lives.”

He described Dr Mosley as an “adventurous” man with a “curious and creative” spirit and said he left behind an “incredible legacy”.

“He made people feel there was a real opportunity to change things and that the challenge was exciting and fun,” he said.

Science broadcaster Dr Chris van Tulleken, who also worked with Dr Mosley, said his former colleague had invented “a whole genre of broadcasting” during his career.

He said Dr. Mosley’s work “quietly changed my daily habits”, from brushing my teeth while standing on one leg to occasionally fasting.

“He was giving people tools that they could use and that everyone could afford,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

Calypso Haggett, Dr. Mosley’s business partner and chief executive officer of The Fast 800 weight loss program, said in a statement that he was “a shining light for the whole team.”

Ms Haggett said: “I had the great fortune of knowing Michael both professionally and personally. He was a truly unique individual and will be greatly missed by all.”

“Michael has left an incredible legacy that I know will live on and energize the continuing movement for better health.”

Downing Street said Dr Mosley would be remembered as “an exceptional broadcaster who used his platform to influence and change our thinking about a range of public health issues.”
