The missing BBC journalist in Greece is found dead
The British presenter Michael Mosley, who disappeared for several days on the island of Symi, was found dead. According to preliminary information, his body was found in the area of ??Agia Marina, near the rocky beach. It is assumed that the 67-year-old may have passed out or become stuck, falling into the sea.
Michael has been missing since Thursday, after his wife reported him missing. He went out for a walk as it was very hot and walked along the coastal rock road of Pedi village. Since he did not have a phone with him, this made the rescue teams' work difficult. To find him, the rescue teams, the police, the fire department, the volunteers who searched the island, through helicopters, drones and dogs were activated.
