The aim of the programme is to reveal the secrets and the science behind ageing well, as the doctor often focused ageing, dieting and was even credited for popularising the form of intermittent fasting called the 5:2 diet on his BBC documentary. Last year, 67-year-old Dr Mosley - who rose to fame with his TV shows Trust Me, I'm a Doctor, appearances on The One Show and podcast, Just One Thing - passed away suddenly whilst on a walk in Greece, however the cause of his death will remain unknown, according to a ruling by a coroner. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter . His disappearance triggered an extensive four-day search, culminating in the discovery of his body. At the time, Greek authorities attributed his death to natural causes. Senior Coroner for Buckinghamshire, Crispin Butler, had determined that it is impossible to ascertain the precise cause of Dr Mosley's demise, declaring the medical cause of death as "unascertainable". Coroner Butler referred to various documents during the inquest, including the Greek death certificate. This confirmed that Dr Mosley's death occurred on 5th June 2024, in a rocky area near Agia Marina Beach, Symi, Dodecanese, Greece. Article continues below It further noted: "The medical cause of death was undetermined but with injuries excluded." The report continued: "There was no particular medical history described by Michael's GP which would account for his collapse or death." Additional testimony from the family corroborated the circumstances of their holiday, including their accommodation with friends. The document stated: "On the morning of 5th of June they travelled to Pedi Beach, arriving late morning. Michael had intentionally left his mobile phone back at the house to prevent it getting wet on the ferry. "Later in the afternoon Michael decided he was going to walk back home rather than take the ferry. He had his rucksack, 1 litre of water and a biscuit, and had a hat and umbrella. Michael was described as looking energetic and cheerful as he set off." The coroner also reviewed a post-mortem examination report translated from Greek which acknowledged "the unfortunate deterioration in Michael's body between his passing and his being recovered". The document noted: "There had been high temperatures during this time. His death was not found to be due to homicide suicide or an accident related to injuries." The findings stated: "Michael's death was most likely attributable either to heatstroke (accidental) or non-identified pathological cause. There was nothing of note in toxicology. Ultimately Michael's death was classified as indeterminate, which we would describe as 'unascertainable'."

Young Brit woman paralysed after horror balcony fall on dream holiday
Holly Seaford, 20, suffered four fractures to her vertebrae in the early hours of Wednesday morning after falling from a balcony at her hotel in Rhodes, leaving her unable to move A young British woman has been left in hospital unable to move after falling from the second-floor balcony of her hotel on holiday. Holly Seaford, from Ystrad Mynach in Wales, had travelled to the Greek island of Rhodes with her partner for a holiday last week before falling from the balcony in a freak accident. In the fall, which happened in the early hours of Wednesday, July 9, 20-year-old Holly fractured four vertebrae and has been left hospitalised and unable to move as medics struggle to treat her. With Holly unable to make any movement, her boyfriend Tate Crees, who is by her side in Rhodes, shared that it will be two months before she regains mobility. He described her condition: "She is lying flat in a hospital bed in a back brace unable to move or walk. Doctors have told us it'll be at least six to eight weeks before she can start to regain mobility. This is going to be a very difficult process." Caught in a dire situation, the family fears the mounting costs of repatriation, prompting Holly's sister Briony to appeal for public support in fundraising efforts. According to Briony, Holly's current state is distressing: "She's in a lot of pain and is bedbound. The last I heard they'd given her paracetamol. They can't effectively look after her there." Tate also expressed his concern over the quality of care available. The couple had been due to fly back from Rhodes on the day Holly fell from the balcony, reports WalesOnline. "Although the medical care in Greece is good, the hospital sadly doesn't have any nursing support available," Tate explained. "This means Holly is without help for even the most basic daily needs which is having a serious impact on her wellbeing. 'We are desperate to get her home to the UK where she can receive the professional nursing care and rehabilitation she urgently requires. 'But medical repatriation is incredibly expensive, especially as the only way Holly can fly home is on a stretcher. She requires a specialist medical flight with trained staff to monitor her throughout the journey and unfortunately this isn't covered by insurance.' Some £3,000 has already been raised to support Holly and her family. You can see the fundraiser here.
