A new CCTV sighting of Dr Michael Mosley has been uncovered, just two hours before his death on the rocky hillside of a Greek island.

Clutching his purple umbrella, he can be seen walking past a house at around 2pm last Wednesday, with the initial findings of his autopsy stating that he likely died at around 4pm.

Greek media reports say he may have rested just yards away from the safety of a restaurant before collapsing.

Initial investigations suggested that foul play was not suspected although the condition of his remains made it difficult to establish the exact cause of death, Proto Thema reported.

The TV star’s body was discovered in a rocky area close to Agia Marina beach on Sunday following a major five-day search on the Greek island of Symi.

The 67-year-old was last seen leaving Saint Nikolas beach at around 1.30pm on Wednesday, setting off for a coastal walk in searing heat without his mobile phone.
