More officers will join the search-and-rescue operation on the Greek island of Symi on Friday for missing TV doctor and columnist Michael Mosley.
A statement from local police, which has been translated, said officers were informed about the “disappearance of the 67-year-old British national on the island” on Wednesday. He told the BBC: “It is a very small, controlled area, full of people. So, if something happened to him there, we would have found him by now.”
She said: “It’s a quiet place … if you see the map of the area it’s a clear path, it’s nothing dangerous, many people go every day, every few minutes, that’s the reason it’s very strange because it’s a clear path.” A Foreign Office spokesman said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who is missing in Greece and are in contact with the local authorities.”Mosley is known for being a columnist for the Daily Mail and has made a number of films about diet and exercise.
