Mosley, 67, was found

The probe revealed the TV star left his phone at his holiday home to prevent it from getting wet on his family's ferry trip, tragically stopping him from phoning for help.
Buckinghamshire senior coroner Crispin Butler said the cause of Dr Mosley's death was 'unascertainable' but likely linked to searing temperatures of more than 37 degrees in the
summer
holiday hotspot.
He added that it 'was most likely attributable either to heatstroke (accidental) or a non-identified pathological cause'.
The star's family, including kids Alex, Dan, Jack and Kate, who flew out to help the search effort, all gave evidence confirming details of the trip and the doctor's mood.
Mr Butler concluded: 'On the morning of June 5, (Dr Mosley) 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, one litre of water and a biscuit, and had a hat and umbrella.
'Michael was described as looking energetic and cheerful as he set off.'
His body was finally found by journalists 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.
Dr Mosley was famed for masterminding the 5:2 diet and fronting documentaries on the
BBC

Holidaymaker dies suddenly on Greece beach after 'feeling ill' on sun lounger
A holidaymaker has died while in holiday in Crete after reportedly falling ill on a sun lounger. The 74-year-old British man was found unconscious around noon on Sunday at Stalis Beach, a well-known tourist spot on the Greek island. Concerned beachgoers spotted him and alerted emergency services, Mirror UK reports. Despite efforts by paramedics from the Hellenic National Center for Emergency Care (EKAB), he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. It is believed the man had been swimming shortly before returning to his lounger and it has been reported that he had a "strong feeling" of sickness shortly before his death. Authorities have not yet confirmed a cause of death and an autopsy is currently underway, according to local news outlet His death follows a series of recent tragedies involving British holidaymakers abroad. Just weeks earlier, a 73-year-old man was found unresponsive on a beach in Agia Paraskevi on the Skiathos Greek island. Despite a doctor spending 40 minutes attempting to revive him, he could not be saved. On June 12, a 68-year-old also died after losing consciousness while swimming off Lindos beach in Rhodes. He was rushed to a nearby health centre by the Central Port Authority, where he was pronounced dead. In Spain, another British tourist died in a suspected drowning after getting into difficulty during a late-evening swim at the popular Fuengirola resort. Bystanders pulled him from the sea and called emergency services, but paramedics were unable to revive him. Also in Spain, two tourists died in separate falls in the past two weeks.

HSE has no burial records for 80 mother and baby home children who died at Galway hospital
The Health Service Executive has said it has no burial records for the 80 children who died at Galway hospital having been admitted from the Tuam mother and baby home during its operation. Research uncovered by local history Catherine Corless in 2014, showed there are death certificates for 796 children who died in the Bons Secours Catholic-run home between 1925 and 1961. A Commission of Inquiry which was established following the emergence of the scandal also found a further 80 children died in the former Galway Central hospital after being admitted from the Tuam home. Ms Corless could not find any burial records for the children in Tuam and test excavations at the former grounds of the institutions for unmarried mothers in 2016 found a 'significant quantity of human remains' in a disused sewage tank. The country's first ever mass grave exhumation began at the site on July 14 and is expected to take at least two years. The Irish Examiner requested information on the remainder of the children who died when they were moved from Tuam to Galway hospital and other surrounding hospitals — or were born there as a result of complications in pregnancy. The Commission's findings show 80 children died in the Galway Central hospital, eight children died in other hospitals and a further 80 died in the Glenadmaddy institution that preceded the Tuam home. The HSE North West said: 'There are no documented process for the burial of babies historically. The only known practice for the burial of babies by the hospital is that they would have been buried in Bothermore Cemetery, in the area known as the Plot of the Angels. 'Regrettably the hospital burial records are incomplete as the significance of this was not fully appreciated until more recent years.' 'I don't know what happened to him' One of the 80 children who died while in Galway Central hospital is 94-year-old Christina Tully's son Michael who was stillborn following a complex breech delivery. Ms Tully, who is from Loughrea, was 18 at the time. She said: 'I never saw him, they just said, 'the baby has died' and that was it. 'I have prayed for him all my life but I don't know what happened to him. His father was not the marrying type but I had a second baby with him and he was taken and adopted. I wanted to keep both of the boys." Patrick Naughton who was born Christopher Tully after his brother and adopted by the nuns, found his mother Ms Tully more than a decade ago and they have tried to locate Michael's place of burial or whereabouts ever since. 'With all the forced adoptions and the question mark over falsifications of deaths certs Michael could be alive and the closer my mother comes to death the more she has to face two dilemmas — he is either in the mass grave somewhere or adopted illegally," said Mr Naughton. "It is utterly unacceptable that the hospital has no records for these children." Ms Tully requested information from Galway hospital about her son's death but there is only one record in existence that states 'return to the Tuam home'. 'That could mean anything, those words have tortured me', she explained. 'And now the hospital says they have no records at all. So where is my child will I ever find out?'

I lost 4st without fat jabs – my secret to losing weight is ‘volume eating' & it's great for people who snack or overeat
WHILE some people are splashing out on fat jabs and miracle pills to shed the pounds, one woman is turning heads with her jaw-dropping weight loss. Ashleigh, who shares her journey on TikTok under the name 2 Ashleigh lost 4st without fat jabs Credit: Tiktok/ashleigheats 2 She says her secret is volume eating Credit: Tiktok/ ashleigheats She did it all without spending a penny on injections or cutting her meals to sad little portions. And no, it's not about eating like a rabbit or constantly feeling hungry. In fact, most people are shocked by just how much food Ashleigh puts away and still drops weight. She said in a In the video, she shows off a whopping plate of food - a jam-packed chicken flatbread loaded with salad, veggies, and chicken breast, all drizzled with balsamic glaze and honey. It looks like a feast but the entire plate comes in at just 398 calories and over 40g of protein. She says she eats this to her "the point of feeling sick" but promises it'll save you from heading to the snack cupboard after dinner. Ashleigh's followers are blown away, with many struggling to believe weight loss is possible without painfully tiny portions. Most read in Fabulous One person wrote: 'Diets are so confusing, I thought smaller portions was the case." Another questioned: 'How do you eat all that and still lose weight?' I was sick of trying fad diets and not losing weight but now I've shed FIVE STONE without fat jabs or silly eating plans What is volume eating? Simply fill your plate with big portions of low-calorie, high-volume foods that keep you full for longer without tipping your calorie count over the edge. Think mountains of veggies, lean proteins, whole grains, and fruit. By staying in a calorie deficit while still enjoying huge meals, it becomes way easier to stick to a healthy eating plan and avoid those sneaky late-night snacks. Foods like broccoli, cucumber, spinach, apples, air-popped popcorn, boiled potatoes and broth-based soups are volume eating gold. Add in some lean chicken, low-fat Greek yoghurt, or lentils for protein, and you've got a meal that actually fills you up and helps shift the weight. It's also a godsend for anyone who struggles with mindless snacking or portion control, which is something Ashleigh says she used to battle with herself. Ashleigh admitted she used to think the only way to lose weight was to eat less but claims volume eating has changed her life. She says she now eats "more than ever" but it's the right kind of food and keeps her full. Read more on the Irish Sun What food do you need for a healthy diet?
