El Cid Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 He has had an influence on my life, with is TV and radio shows about health. I wonder if he was driven be a desire to make people healthier, or was he in it for the fame/money? On the same level as Jamie Oliver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Celebrity" news usually passess me by, but I felt I had something of a connection to him through his work. I always felt he was genuine. And also quite sensible - it seems strange he decided to head off for a walk in the middle of the day in 37 degrees heat... So sad 😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sad 😔 From the descriptions and looking at maps/Google Earth, it looks like his total walk was not much more than 2km. The bit from the port where he was recorded on CCTV to where he was found was about 1.5km and he was incredibly close to being safe (10s of metres from people/shade/drinks).

He did several 'how to improve your health' type series/programmes/spots on other shows on TV and radio. If you don't watch/listen to them you could easily have missed him.

hauxwell Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Can't say I have watched this man on TV but the name sounds familiar. If he was walking in a heatwave it could have caused a heart attack. Just have to wait until there has been a post mortem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francypants Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 It's just been reported on BBC news that Michael Mosley died of natural causes. I've watched a lot of his TV programmes and he always came across as an intelligent person. What's baffling about this whole very sad story is WHY did he go off ( on his own ) for a walk in that mad heat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought cause of death would be due to heat stroke- but may be it contributed to his death? He was a medical adviser, surely going out in that heat, was not a good decision. The locals were staying inside and apparently the mayor issued a warning about being outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it could be a Heart Attack caused by heat stroke. He had told his wife before setting off that he didn’t feel very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
