After the ‘final moments’ of Dr Michael Mosley were reportedly shown in CCTV footage and the results of his post mortem were reported in June, the TV star’s coroner has officially recorded his cause of death today (December 20).
Michael, who had appearances on This Morning, went missing on the Greek island of Symi on on June 5. His wife, Clare Bailey, raised an alarm that evening after he failed to come home six hours after a hike.
However, on June 9, it was confirmed by Symi mayor Lefteris Papakalodoukas and police that Michael’s body had been found.
It was later alleged that Michael was shown in chilling CCTV footage – where he may have ‘fell on a rocky hillside’.
Now, six months later, his coroner has confirmed what Michael’s cause of death was and an insight into his final moments.

Coroner records Michael Mosley’s cause of death
The initial post-mortem examination showed that there was no suspicious circumstances surrounding Dr Mosley’s death, but a definite cause of death was yet to be established at the time.
Now, Senior coroner for Buckinghamshire, Crispin Butler, said Dr Mosley’s death was “indeterminate” and “unascertainable”.
Butler added that it “was most likely attributable either to heatstroke (accidental) or non-identified pathological cause”.
Reports state that Butler said Dr Mosley’s death was not found to be as a result of homicide, suicide, or an accident related to his injuries.
Mr Butler reportedly wrote in his findings: “Michael Mosley collapsed and died on the 5th of June 2024 in a rocky area near Agia Marina Beach, Symi, Dodecanese, Greece. There had been high temperatures during this time. Michael’s death was not found to be due to homicide, suicide or an accident related to injuries.
“Michael’s death was most likely attributable either to heatstroke (accidental) or a non-identified pathological cause. There was nothing of note in toxicology. No medical cause of death could be ascertained, meaning Michael’s death may have been due to a medical event or as a result of a non-traumatic accident.”
Michael Mosley’s final moments
The coroner also documented how Michael had intentionally left his mobile phone at home – to prevent the device from getting wet – due to having plans to get a ferry ride home later that day.
He later decided to walk home.
Butler described that Michael “had his rucksack, one litre of water and a biscuit, and had a hat and umbrella,” with him and appeared to be cheerful before setting off on the hike.
The coroner also recorded that Michael had appeared to be energetic before embarking on the journey, despite the blazing heat.
Dr Michael Mosley initial post mortem results
According to Greek media at the time of Dr Mosley’s disappearance, the star may have taken a tragic final rest just a few yards away from the safety of a restaurant. The autopsy was completed just days after his body was discovered, with initial findings indicating the doctor’s time of death was around 4pm on the day he went missing.
Footage of Dr Mosley’s final moments saw the 67-year-old medic was walking at a slow pace through the mountain trying to reach the beach of Agia Marina.
A report by the coroner in Greece showed that the doctor appeared to have rested his hand on a terrace before collapsing – possibly because he was feeling unwell in the day’s 37C heat.

After days of searching, Michael’s body was sadly found on June 9. The body was found close to a cave complex beside Agia Marina on Symi, around 10 metres from the sea. He did not appear to show any signs of injury.
The doctor reportedly made his way down a slope before disappearing behind a wall.
