An inquest into the cause of death of Dr Michael Mosley has not produced a definitive answer, the senior coroner has revealed.

The broadcaster and TV doctor died aged 67 from what was believed to be natural causes after he went missing on the Greek island of Symi in June.

In his findings, the senior coroner for Buckinghamshire, Crispin Butler, declared the cause ‘indeterminate’ and ‘unascertainable’.

He continued: ‘[It] was most likely attributable either to heatstroke (accidental) or non-identified pathological cause’ due to the ‘high temperatures’.

The coroner also ruled out his decease due to homicide, suicide, or an accident related to injuries.

The inquest came to an open conclusion due to insufficient evidence and the case will remain open in case any further evidence is provided to ascertain the cause of death.

The longtime broadcaster – known for offering advice to the nation on health, diet and exercise – went missing after he departed from his friend and family on Pedi Beach to go on a walk.

The report added: ‘Michael had intentionally left his mobile phone back at the house to prevent it getting wet on the ferry.

‘Later in the afternoon Michael decided he was going to walk back home rather than take the ferry.’

Described as ‘energetic and cheerful’ ahead of his walk, he took with him a rucksack, a litre of water, a biscuit, a hat and an umbrella.

He is understood to have died later that day with his body recovered from near Agia Marina Beach.

His toxicology report produced ‘nothing of note’. And his death ‘may have been due to a medical event or as a result of a non-traumatic accident’.
