The family of TV doctor Michael Mosley have been seen leaving the Greek Island of Symi today - two days after his body was found.
His wife Clare and four children were spotted catching a ferry to the nearby island of Rhodes. Dr Mosley was found at around 10.30am on Sunday by a restaurant manager at the Agia Marina beach bar, five days after he was reported missing.
A coroner’s initial findings said Dr Mosley stopped for a final rest before blacking out and dying in the unforgiving 40C heat. The exhausted presenter sat down on a rock before he collapsed and died.
If he had managed to make it another 50 yards he would have reached the sea and a gate into the Agia Marina beach bar. Police have released new CCTV showing the last sighting of Dr Mosley at 2pm last Wednesday - two hours before he tragically died 'of heat exhaustion' on a rocky hillside.

The health expert was declared missing on Wednesday after he failed to return to his accommodation following a walk. He was meant to head back to the apartment he shared with his wife after he left St Nicholas beach at 1.30pm.
Greek police spokeswoman Konstantia Dimoglidou told the BBC that an initial post-mortem examination has been carried out, which confirms there were no injuries on his body. Ms Dimoglidou said that the position of his body means he died of natural causes. She also said toxicology and histology reports will be conducted.
Following the discovery of Mr Mosley, members of the Symi crisis rescue volunteer team expressed their “deepest condolences” to the wife, children and friends of Mosley “for his tragic loss”.
They said: “Our team was called in by island authorities to assist in the search investigation on the very first night of his disappearance and we immediately began with a first night search. We continued all the coming days to participate in the investigations together with firefighters, police officers and other volunteers, as always directed by the head of the investigation.
"High temperatures and rough spots made this mission particularly difficult, and unfortunately, the outcome was one we all know.”
