The wife of TV and radio presenter Dr Michael Mosley, who went missing on the Greek island of Symi, has paid tribute to her “wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband”.
In a statement Clare Bailey Mosley said her husband “so very nearly made it. He did an incredible climb, took the wrong route and collapsed where he couldn’t be easily seen” by search teams.
Tributes have also been paid to the “immediately likeable, genuinely funny” man, from those who worked with him and the wider public who benefited from his work.
A body was found earlier on Sunday beside Agia Marina beach after Mosley went missing while holidaying on the island with his wife.
He left Agios Nikolaos beach before setting off to the centre of the island on Wednesday. It was extremely hot on Symi on that day, with temperatures hitting 40C in the afternoon.
A police source told BBC News the deceased had been dead “for a number of days”.
The TV presenter is well known for BBC programmes including the podcast Just One Thing and the series Trust Me, I’m A Doctor.
