"Has the body been identified? I posted about a body found in the other thread.
According to the news I read , yes. I'd not have announced otherwise. It's his body."
Not according to BBC news online.
We know it will be but maybe not officially identified by wife.
Incredibly sad. |

Never heard of him before now. Very very sad indeed. RIP and very best wishes to all his family, friends and fans.
Heat stroke/stress is not a nice thing at all. Suffered it many times while in Africa and Oz over the years. |

Was hoping there’d be some kind of miracle and he had managed to find shelter and water. But as the days went by, that seemed to be a pipe dream. I truly hope he didn’t suffer too much.
Feel for his family today RIP |

I'm a.bit surprised that Dr Mosley wasn't alert to the dangers of heat stroke assuming that's the cause, I believe an autopsy will take place in Rhodes so maybe they will find out it's something else, I understand one of the rescue workers broke a leg trying to recover the body |

RIP Michael: he wanted to understand science and he wanted us to understand it too.
He was a straight forward scientist and presenter of facts, by taking on the experiments himself.
Taken from BBCs page
Continuing BBC Four’s Natural History Season, Dr Michael Mosley turns his body into a living laboratory by deliberately infecting himself with some of the most extraordinary, powerful and surprising parasites of them all.
Almost every animal on Earth has its own parasites – and humans are no exception. These strange creatures will feed on him and even make his body their home.
Michael infects himself with the infamous tapeworm by swallowing live cysts sourced from infected meat in Kenya. Tapeworms have evolved over millions of years to the particular environment of the human gut. By swallowing a tiny camera – the pill-cam - the tapeworms’ stomach churning growth inside Michael’s body can be seen close up.
For his next itchy encounter, Michael is joined by entomologist Dr James Logan as he gets to grips with one of the most widespread childhood nuisances in the UK – the head louse. These little blood suckers are so dependent on humans that Michael has to keep them alive on his own skin. Using a video microscope Michael and James observe the lice exploring Michael’s body and digesting their latest blood meal. They see how perfectly the head louse is adapted to climbing and gripping onto human hair. Through comparing the body shapes of head, pubic and body lice James reveals that they tell us something about our own history.
Another common parasite, which is not visible to the human eye, is thought to alter behaviour by infecting the brain. Surprisingly, around a quarter of the population is infected by toxoplasma gondii which is contracted from cat faeces. Some scientists believe it makes the carrier more likely to adopt riskier behaviour. Michael takes a test to find out if he’s infected.
The life-threatening malaria parasite is carried by mosquitos, and infects human blood. It’s something Michael is not prepared to risk, so a new imaging technique is used to show his blood cells being taken over in a test tube.
But other parasites can cure as well as kill. The leech, once sold by medieval quacks, is now used in cutting edge microsurgery. Michael adds to his parasitic load by being bitten by a leech – and sees how it can consume more than five times its own body weight in blood.
