An initial report has concluded that the TV doctor died of natural causes.

A five-day search was launched after the 67-year-old vanished while on a solo hike on the Greek island of Symi.

His body was found on a hillside near the Agia Marina beach bar on Sunday.

New CCTV footage appears to show Mosley "stumbling" close to the area his body was found.

However, the post-mortem report now suggests there were "no injuries on his body".

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

Mosley was last seen leaving Saint Nikolas beach at around 1.30pm on Wednesday before setting off for a coastal walk.

Further tests are due to take place as the condition of the remains made it difficult to establish the exact cause of death.

The doctor's widow Clare Bailey Mosley issued a heartbreaking statement following the news that his body had been discovered.

"I don’t know quite where to begin with this," she said. "It’s devastating to have lost Michael, my wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband.
