Michael Mosley's wife Clare speaks out about his shocking death last year in Greece
THE wife of tragic telly doctor Michael Mosley has spoken out about his shocking death - saying he collapsed after wandering off because 'he got bored'. Clare Mosely, 63, said husband Michael, who died while holidaying in Greece last June, told her he was going exploring and agreed to meet her back at their villa. The daytime TV regular, 67, was found dead days after going missing while on a walk on holiday on the Greek island of Symi amid intense 37C temperatures last summer. In her first interview, Clare told the Daily Mail: 'We'd only been there for half a day before it happened…typically, Michael got bored. 'He wasn't enjoying his book and he doesn't really like lying on beaches so he said, 'I'm going exploring. I'm off for a walk'. 'He agreed to meet us back at our friends' villa. 'I gave him my litre bottle of water and in his rather eccentric way, he had an umbrella to shield him from the sun. It was 1.30pm and he was given instructions on where to walk. 'He set off at a good pace, his rucksack on his back, up a steep hill. He hadn't brought his phone because he didn't want to risk it getting wet on the boat.' Clare said that she got concerned when he failed to return and that when she reported him missing the police told her they couldn't do anything as he needed to have been gone for 48 hours. She added: ''Feeling things weren't right, we went to the police station and reported him missing. The police said, 'We can't do anything about it until he's been gone for 48 hours'. 'I said, 'What, in this heat?' It was 40 degrees, the hottest day for decades. 'I had to push really hard, but finally they agreed to get a local search-and-rescue team out, then we went to the little hospital, but there was no sign of him there.' Reason why Dr Michael Mosley made ill-fated decision to leave phone before doomed walk revealed in cause-of-death update Michael's body was finally found by journalists, including one from The Sun, just 100 yards from the safety of a restaurant and 150 yards from a spot searched by a 100-person rescue team only days earlier. Clare, who married Michael in 1987, called him "my wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband". 1
