Title: Shocking Discovery in Abyss Caves – Dr. Mosley’s Tragedy Unfolds
Early Yesterday we headed to Agia Marina with British journalists to view the area known as the Abyss caves following fears Dr. Michael Mosley may have fallen in there. What we found was much worse than anything I could have ever imagined.
Exploring Abyss Caves – Dr. Michael Mosley’s Tragic End
Dr. Mosley’s body was found on rocky ground close to a beach bar on the Greek island of Symi on Saturday morning. The TV doctor is pictured for the last time on the beach before heading off. Central Recorder has seen CCTV which appears to show his last movements before he sinks close to the spot his body was found.
Heartbreaking Encounter – Discovering Dr. Mosley
He had endured more than a two-hour walk in searing temperatures to get to this point. Sun photographer Simon Jones and I wanted to film a piece explaining the latest development. But we were interrupted by the bar’s manager who was indicating he had seen something on the other side of the barbed wire fence. I peered over and saw the body of Dr. Mosley, with a dropped umbrella nearby.
Uncovering the Truth – The Final Moments
I froze. It was horrifying and incredibly overwhelming. I was hit by an intense shock and sadness. I felt sick and at several points I was on the verge of tears. It is among the saddest stories I have worked on. Immediately I dashed back to the restaurant area where everyone else was to help raise the alarm. “There’s a body over there,” I said, as the bar manager got his colleague to phone the police.
Search Efforts and Heartbreak – The Tragic Outcome
I was here to report on the search for Dr. Michael Mosley. The tragedy of this is that he was just yards from the beach resort where he could have sat and had water. Search parties were looking so close to this area in the previous days without noticing his exposed body, and even a low-flying helicopter had scoured the terrain. But he was never found.
