Dr. Clare Bailey Mosley, his widow and a GP and cookery book writer, confirmed on June 9 that her husband’s body was found near Agia Marina, Symi, after taking a wrong route and collapsing where he couldn’t be easily seen.

Legacy of Michael Mosley

Dr. Mosley, known for pushing his body in various TV programmes, will be featured in a documentary titled Michael Mosley: Wonders Of The Human Body, which explores how the human body changes with age.

Throughout his career, Mosley engaged in daring experiments, such as ingesting tapeworms for six weeks in a 2014 documentary and creating black puddings out of his own blood in a 2015 programme to showcase its nutritional value.

Impact on Health Habits

The BBC noted that Mosley's programmes have influenced the nation's health habits, from promoting intermittent fasting to highlighting the benefits of a cold shower. They paid tribute to him with a special program titled Michael Mosley: The Doctor Who Changed Britain, aired on BBC One in June.
