Rescuer Hopes To Find Him Alive

Beyond the vicinity adjacent to the trail where the corpse rested under police supervision, additional law enforcement agents occupied an enclosed section and anticipated the arrival of the coroner at precisely 2 o'clock.

Jannis Volas, a devoted member of the mountain rescue team, has spent the past four days tirelessly scouring the area, alongside his spouse. He shared that this day was a moment of great sorrow for them.

We had anticipated discovering him living, but it's disheartening to have found him dead. It appears that he may have lost his footing on the trail.

This implies that he didn't take the path near the waterfront that is accessible for walking, instead, he walked across the mountain in proximity to the metal fence.

Yesterday, he mentioned that they had been exploring an area located 50 meters away from that particular spot.

There are various CCTV cameras fixed on the roof of the bar found in the bay. However, Mr. Volas checked them a few days ago and didn't locate Mosely on any of them.

Local Reports Mayor Of Symi Found Dead

Ilias Tsavaris, a 38-year-old manager of a bar in Agia Marina, was present when the search for Michael Mosley led to the discovery of a body on the Greek island of Symi. He was with some journalists at the time when the island's mayor spotted something near the bar's fence and informed the staff.

Someone spotted something from the boat and informed the mayor, who then contacted me and requested that I investigate the situation in that area.

I received a call where they mentioned having spotted something unusual from a distance, and requested me to investigate. Subsequently, I went to the location.

When I approached the area, I noticed something resembling a lifeless figure. It's not common to come across a deceased individual on a regular basis, especially during the summer season where one would expect activities like swimming and having fun. This isn't some war-torn zone.

He arrived from Pedi OK but did not pass through the restaurant. Had he walked through the bar area, we would have monitored the surveillance cameras.

He stated that the search and rescue teams had been scouring the specified location on a daily basis, utilizing helicopters.
