Michael Mosley had set off on a walk in a mountainous area in Greece on Wednesday afternoon.
A days-long search for missing British television presenter Michael Mosley has led to the recovery of a body on a Greek island, according to local authorities.
A police spokesman, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of an ongoing investigation, was quoted as saying by The Associated Press news agency that the body was found on a rocky coast by a private boat and that formal identification was pending.
The 67-year-old went missing on the island of Symi on Wednesday afternoon after going for a walk.
His wife, Clare Bailey Mosley, who was on the island along with their four children, alerted authorities after he did not return or respond after several hours.
The AP also quoted Lefteris Papakalodoukas, the island’s mayor who was on a boat with media representatives looking for Mosley on Sunday – the fifth day of the search – as confirming the body believed to belong to Mosley was found.
