An initial post-mortem examination on the body of Dr Michael Mosley has concluded he died of natural causes, the BBC has been told.
The TV presenter’s remains were found in a rocky area on the Greek island of Symi on Sunday - four days after he went missing while on holiday.
Greek police spokeswoman Konstantia Dimoglidou told the BBC that the initial post-mortem found no injuries on his body that could have caused his death.
Dr Mosley’s time of death was around 16:00 (14:00 BST) on Wednesday, the day he went missing.
The 67-year-old father-of-four was reported missing after he set off for a walk from Agios Nikolaos beach - near where he was staying on the northeast side of the island - at about 13:30 local time (11:30 BST) on Wednesday.
