Dr Michael Mosley's widow says 'there wasn't a kiss' the last time she saw him
Clare Bailey Mosley was left widowed last summer when her husband, TV doctor Michael Mosley, went for a walk on a Greek island only to tragically pass away in the island heat Dr Michael Mosley's widow has opened up about the heartbreaking loss of her husband. Clare Bailey Mosley was left devastated last summer when 67-year-old author, broadcaster and TV presenter Michael went missing while on the Greek island, Symi. He was tragically found dead on 9 June after a four-day hunt, leaving behind Clare and his four children. An inquest last December recorded his death as "unascertainable" and that his death was "most likely attributable either to heat stroke (accidental) or non-identified pathological cause". Clare has reflected on the fateful day her husband went for a walk, only to never return. She recounted that he wanted to go for a walk while their friends stayed by a pool to sunbathe. When her husband did not return for several hours, Clare grew concerned - and was conscious of the fact his planned journey would have taken one hour at the longest. While she was keen to raise the alarm, emergency services could not declare a person missing until after 48 hours. The retired GP has recalled that she managed to plead with local police, who eventually agreed to send out a search party. Clare also helped with the search, with her anxiety growing as daylight began to fade. She told the Daily Mail:"I spent a couple of hours walking along the coast and through trees and gorse calling his name. Every time I met someone, I asked, 'Have you seen him?' "Then it got dark. It became devastatingly obvious something had gone terribly wrong," - adding that she was reduced to tears as panic took hold. Clare went on to explain that she tried to keep hope aflame and found herself ironically hoping he had been kidnapped, as that would have meant he was alive. Tragically, his body was found after four days of searching. Clare recalled: "After that, we all slumped. I could make no sense of anything. There was one photo of Michael on a stretcher with an arm sticking out, and, having seen it, I could not unsee it. It was so distressing, so poignant. "And there was an amazing one, too, of the kids walking in a row, all dirty and dishevelled, looking exhausted after a day's search, and they looked so purposeful and wholesome. That lifted me." Recalling their last goodbye, Clare said: "It was just an ordinary exchange of words as he went off for his walk. Very banal. I don't think there was even a kiss." Clare described her husband as "a maverick, a bit of a risk-taker." She said of Michael: "He pushed boundaries. I loved him for that; it made him so special. He was unorthodox and just so brilliant." Earlier this year, Dr Jack Mosley spoke about the loss of his father as he shared pride over his late parents' achievements and said that one experience amid his grief has been "bittersweet". Ahead of the first anniversary of Michael's death, Jack spoke to The Times about his father, who offered advice, including on weight loss, in his career, whilst promoting his own new book, Food Noise: How Weight Loss Medications & Smart Nutrition Can Silence Your Cravings. Jack revealed in the interview that he hadn't been able to listen to Michael's BBC Radio 4 series Just One Thing until recently. The project, which was televised last year, involved Michael sharing "simple tips" to "change your life". Speaking to the outlet, Jack said: "It's only in the past few weeks that I've been able to listen to his Just One Thing series And obviously that's been bittersweet." He added that the "whole reason" that Michael - who did shows like Trust Me, I'm a Doctor - is "still there" on radio, podcasts and TV is "something to be proud of". He said that his late father "helped a lot of people lead better lives." Jack, who is training to be a GP, further paid tribute to Michael in the interview. He said that the broadcaster, who wrote several books, including on diets, in his career, had been "a maverick" and a "master self-experimenter".

"Éanna was a bright, kind hearted and spirited young man whose presence brought joy to all who knew him. A son, a brother, a grandson, a cousin, a nephew and a friend, he touched lives with his laughter, kindness and his beautiful smiling face." Tributes have been pouring in for Éanna since his tragic death, with Ennistymon chairman Shane Talty describing him as one of the most decorated players to ever play for the club. He told Clare FM: "It's important for ourselves and for the broader club and young lads involved in teams and everyone in the parish, I suppose, that we can do the best we can to hang together and to look out and look after one another. "Remember Éanna and remember the great times in his life on the pitch from a lot of our own club point of view, but off the pitch as well and the broader picture of the young man with such a bright and talented life ahead of him in terms of his music talents, his wit and his humour and his character and how he carries himself and engages and how laid back he was at times." On Éanna's footballing skills and achievements, Mr Talty added: "He won everything, he's probably one of the most decorated players that ever went through the club of Ennistymon in terms of winning from under-12s or 13s up along, or 12s as it was in that time, under-12s up along, well he would have won any medals at every age bracket. "If medals could count, he had a fabulous life ahead and an under-17 medal in 2021 and then two under-21s in a row there in 2022 and 2023. Last year didn't go as well, he would have been playing for three in a row last year and on the three years of the Clare under-20s panel there under Mikey Neylon and all the great bonds and friendships and experiences he had through those experiences. "Then through his college years then as well in UL and his studies and his playing experiences again on the freshers teams in UL and winning medals there, you know, and touching so many people. His circle of friends extends the breadth of the country through his college life as well, so we know that the impact of such a sudden and untimely passing is touching so many people throughout the country."

Dr Michael Mosley's last moments with wife laid bare in moving interview
In her first interview since Dr Michael Mosley's mysterious death, Dr Clare Bailey Mosley paid tribute to the popular doctor, who appeared on shows like The One Show Dr Michael Mosley's widow has revealed her last moments with the popular TV doctor as she opened up on her grief in her first interview since her husband's mysterious death. Michael - known for TV appearances on shows like The One Show over the course of his career - tragically died in June last year whilst on holiday on the Greek island of Symi. The 67-year-old had gone missing on the trip after going for a walk and his body was discovered days later following search efforts. Dr Clare Bailey Mosley has now recalled what happened last year after she arrived, with her husband, to Symi by ferry in the evening of June 4 to stay with friends at their villa. She said: "We'd only been there for half a day before it happened." She said that after settling in, reading their books and going for a dip in the pool, Michael "got bored" as he wasn't enjoying his book and didn't like spending time on the beach. "So he said, 'I'm going exploring. I'm off for a walk," Dr Clare recalled, adding that she gave her husband her bottle of water and saying he had an umbrella to shield him from the sun. The grieving woman said her late husband left the villa at 1.30pm after receiving "instructions on where to walk" and "set off at a good pace, his rucksack on his back, up a steep hill." Clare said Michael didn't bring his phone with him as he "didn't want to risk it getting wet on the boat." Recalling their last goodbye, Clare said: "It was just an ordinary exchange of words as he went off for his walk. Very banal. I don't think there was even a kiss." While Michael went for a walk, Clare and her friend spent the afternoon on the beach before returning home - and at that point they became concerned as they noticed that her husband hadn't returned. "When we got there and found that Michael wasn't back we were concerned. Had he walked directly, he'd have been there in under an hour," Clare told the Daily Mail. "Feeling things weren't right, we went to the police station and reported him missing." However, they were told that the police couldn't do anything until 48 hours had passed since his disappearance - making Clare even more worried as temperatures had reached 40C. "I had to push really hard, but finally they agreed to get a local search-and-rescue team out," Clare said. Michael's body was eventually found on June 9. In December 2024, a coroner recorded an open conclusion regarding the cause of his death. Senior coroner for Buckinghamshire, Crispin Butler, said Dr Mosley's death was classified as "indeterminate" and most likely down to heatstroke or a non-identified pathological cause. In written findings, Mr Butler said the doctor's death was not found to be a result of homicide, suicide, or an accident related to injuries. He wrote: "No medical cause of death could be ascertained, meaning Michael's death may have been due to a medical event or as a result of a non-traumatic accident." Clare described her husband as "a maverick, a bit of a risk-taker." She said, of Michael: "He pushed boundaries. I loved him for that; it made him so special. He was unorthodox and just so brilliant." Earlier this year, Dr Jack Mosley spoke about the loss of his father as he has shared pride over his late parent's achievements and said that one experience amid his grief has been "bittersweet". Ahead of the first anniversary of Michael's death, Jack spoke to The Times about his father - who offered advice, including on weight-loss, in his career - whilst promoting his own new book, Food Noise: How Weight Loss Medications & Smart Nutrition Can Silence Your Cravings.

Key detail as student debt set to soar
Millions of Aussies with outstanding student debt will have their deficits deepened on Sunday, with a promised slashing of student debt still about two months away. One of Labor's big ticket pre-election promises was to slash HECS, VET and apprenticeship loans by 20 per cent as soon as Anthony Albanese's government was re-elected. People's debt will jump on Sunday when the annual increase kicks in, as laws to make the 20 per cent cut won't be introduced to parliament until MPs return to Canberra in late July. 'It will be the first bill that we introduce into the parliament when parliament sits for the first time in the last week of July,' Education Minister Jason Clare said this week. Student debts will be jacked up 3.2 per cent on Sunday, in line with the consumer price index. But once legislation for the 20 per cent cut is passed, debts will be slashed retrospectively, and the indexation applied will be adjusted to reflect the lower balance. This means the indexation increase will only apply to the amount owed before the June 1 increase, minus 20 per cent. Slashing student debts by 20 per cent will cost the federal budget $700m during the next four years, and $16bn over the coming decades. The average student debt in Australia is about $28,000; last term, the federal government tweaked the annual increases after debts skyrocketed during the back-end of the pandemic with massive inflation. 'I think everyone listening will know somebody in this situation and perhaps will know that HECS debts are bigger today than they were when I went to uni, when many of us went to university – that by cutting this debt by 20 per cent, it's going to help a lot of people get a good start in life, make it easier to get out there and buy their first home,' Mr Clare said on ABC radio this week. Higher education was free in Australia from 1974 until 1989. Initially, all degrees then cost $1800, but in 1996 the federal government brought in three-tiered rates. The current Education Minister, Mr Clare, finished with a bachelor of arts and a law degree from UNSW in 1998. The laws required to slash student debts by 20 per cent will have other functions too. 'It will change the amount of money that you have to earn before you start paying your debt back,' Mr Clare said. The threshold to start paying off the debt will rise from $54,000 to $67,000. For someone being paid $70,000, repayments should decrease $1300-per-year. 'It means more money in your pocket,' Mr Clare said. Laws need to change so the tax office can wipe 20 per cent off the debts. Labor will have to rely on the Greens to pass the laws through the senate. During the election campaign, the Greens said they would wipe all student debt if elected.
