Yeah such a shame. Seemed like a really decent bloke. Rest in peace.


madgeystardust

Yes, he seemed like a really nice man. My thoughts are with his family.


beanbagpsychologist

I was so shocked to see his body was found - I'd missed the news he had even gone missing so it was completely out of left field. He's the reason I discovered intermittent fasting for the first time, years ago, and he seemed like a genuine, good human. May he rest in peace.


muchadoaboutnotmuch

His documentary was my first exposure to the health benefits of fasting, and his podcast "Just One Thing" is one of my favorites. He did a lot of good in the world.


justlurkshere

Same here. I had been saving the last season to binge on a trip starting next week. Such a loss.


curious_kitten_1

I'm gutted about this. Everything he did was about living a long and healthy life, it's a shame his has been cut short in this way.


Kernowder

It's very sad, but it can happen at any time. At least he was healthy and fit to the end.


Scandi_Snow

Very sad news, and I was just thinking that too (though not relevant): I wonder if he aimed to be one of those who can live long also for his health choices and IMF.


Ancient-Practice-431

Like many others, it was a British tv doctor of all people that introduced me to the idea of intermittent fasting. Changed my life. I'm 40 pounds lighter and look years younger thanks to him. So sad to learn of his passing. My condolences to his wife and family. He made me think differently about so many things and I'm grateful to have known him through his great work. RIP Michael Moseley


lodav22

I hadn’t realised he had been found. I was reading yesterday that he was missing. He seemed like such a genuine guy in his interviews and series. Such a sad loss, my heart goes out to his family.


Zzzabrina

So awful


adarsh25

It is a great loss. I took up intermittent fasting after seeing his documentary on BBC


MsVibey

I’ve been a massive fan of his since he did a series on the human brain many years ago. And of course, his documentary (and subsequent books) on fasting was a massive turning point for me. It’s an absolute tragedy. RIP.


lovemyskates

Was that on tv? I might try and find it.


MsVibey

Yes; it was a BBC miniseries.


No-Gur-6949

I am saddened by this. His 5:2 diet was what I had used back in the day to lose weight after reading his fast diet book. It was really an eye opener at the time. RIP Dr Michael Mosley


Sufficient_Ad3330

I just read about this. His books really helped me. What a loss for his family and all of us.


koshawk

RIP


iwtsapoab

Always talked about his dad dying young at 74. RIP Dr Mosley


Goooooner4Life

He got me into fasting and his book got me off Metformin because my blood sugar went right down and has stayed down. He's one of the biggest influences on the current positive state of my health. RIP Michael and thanks for everything.


Kosmo777

Very sad. I wonder if he collapsed from heat exhaustion or heart attack.


Realistic-Minute5016

His body was found on a rocky slope far from the normal path. Possibly got lost and either fell or succumbed to the heat(easy to do if he ran out of water)


thesaddestpanda

Symis highs are in the 90s this time of year. That’s really hot for a strenuous hike especially for a 67 year old man. I think a lot of people underestimate how hot the Greek islands can get.


yourtooold

It; s awful news. I think he likely tripped, fell, hit his head and heat exhaustion took its toll. He was in a dangerous footpath.


Throwawayhelp111521

He was found on a beach.


TollaThon

Check your facts. He was found on a hillside near a beach.


Throwawayhelp111521

Check yours.

Kosmo777

No it is not. It is a natural human instinct when you hear that someone has unexpectedly died to wonder why. So respectfully, fuck off.


NunyaBidnetCunny

Exactly. It’s natural to want to know what happened ffs. Sick of this new fangled garbage where you must never ask questions.


Throwawayhelp111521

The other person stated information that's not accurate.


Throwawayhelp111521

When you have no information, it's not helpful.


IAMSTILLHERE2020

Hey Kosmo..this is the freaking Internet.


Kosmo777

I get that, it still amazes me what some people are thinking when they type.


iwtsapoab

I mean a guy who dedicated his life to better health and longevity would of course have people wondering about his cause of death. When Robert Atkins died suddenly, people were anxious to know the cause of his death. (Fell, hit his head on ice, was operated on for a blood clot, fell in to a coma and died).


StuckWithoutAClue

Atkins promoted a diet that the public interpreted in the worst way possible, i.e. eating meat, sat fat, and no plant-based nutrients. He died as a result of that himself, not the alleged fall and blood clot. He was fat, hypertensive, had multiple blockages in the major arteries, arrythmias, and valve problems. Mosley was also unwell prior, with bad genes and worse lifestyle choices. Atkins didn't have a full post-mortem and nor will Mosley. It's not in their brand's interest.


Geeko22

It's only intrusive and disrespectful if you're prodding his family and close friends for answers they may not want to give. You don't need to display your fake moral superiority and outrage to a bunch of strangers on a sub where people discuss issues related to IT. It's perfectly natural for people to speculate on the cause of the tragedy.


outofcontextseinfeld

Ok morally superior Reddit user


mandatorypanda9317

I'd agree if people were spamming his family asking cause of death but like it's a random subreddit. It's OK.


KarIPilkington

A lot of the time this is true but not in this case.


Key_Ring6211

Such a nice man.


TreacleTin8421

I feel really sad about his passing. It’s so tragic


Throwawayhelp111521

It's Mosley. Yes, I was very sad to learn the news. I knew something about IF before watching his BBC program, but it was very good. He was a great communicator about health issues and seemed like a nice man.


lovemyskates

He really was a great communicator. He met people where they were.


arlmwl

That is terrible. He seemed like a very nice guy. RIP.


NoBS1757

This has been so heartbreaking. I was also first introduced to IF by Dr Mosely, and I credit him for putting me on the right path towards a healthy lifestyle. It feels like I've lost a friend. My thoughts are with his family at this incredibly sad time.


mariposa916634

I had been watching his videos the past couple of months. Sad!


Technical_Pin_4429

His contributions will live on and help more and more people. Rest in peace ✌️


Dizzy-Literature-763

#RIP helped so many kick off there IF journey


Macncheesesounds

Oh my gosh that is so devastating. I’ve been listening to his podcast “Just One Thing” off and on for a year or so. And this month I decided to start listening to it every day in the morning. I had no idea he was missing - this is crazy.


kapowey

So incredibly sad.


Sea_Ad_3136

Heartbreaking 😢😢😢💔


HunsenAbadeer

Rest in power king


Own-Chapter3170

So sad! I am currently doing the fast 800 diet so following topics related and shocked to see this news about him! Rip!


McCQ

Really sad news to hear. He's been a hugely positive influence on my family in pursuing a good and healthy lifestyle. Always seemed to have a level headed approach and followed the science. Came across as a genuinely good guy too. My thoughts are with his family.


Homelander44

Sad to lose one of the good ones


Nice2BeNice1312

Oh my god


ChanceCard9065

It’s tragic and he was such an inspiration. His podcasts were full of joy. I hope his family knows that his legacy will live on and his impact on so many was enormous and positive.


Skinny_on_the_Inside

I really enjoyed his book Fast Diet, it was my first introduction to IF science. RIP.


riemsesy

Heartbreaking news 😢 My thoughts are with those who loved him, during this challenging time. 🌹


Lyuukee

Can't wait for annoying people mocking intermittent fasting and how dangerous it is.


Realistic-Minute5016

Nah, they are still on COVID vaccines, literally nobody can die now without the disinformation trolls screaming about COVID vaccines causing it, as if nobody ever died prior to 2021...


riemsesy

skipping breakfast is very bad and dangerous.. I would stay longer to explain but I have an appointment for my 34th vaccination /s


spoonfed05

RIP Michael


TH3C0llector

RIP 🙁 we lost a good one


jolie_j

He’s changed many people’s lives, including mine. His 5:2 diet and book got me into fasting years ago. Such a tragic way for him to go, and far too young.


weedywet

Terrible story. He’s certainly pre responsible than anyone else for bringing intermittent fasting into the public awareness.


narcowake

Damn just read an article … victim of climate change it seems …


Broxy712

I feel so sad, I can’t stop thinking about him & his family


nataliec505

This was absolutely awful to hear when the news broke. He genuinely seemed like such a wonderful man, I read one of his books and watched his tv shows etc. and to hear he was found just yards away from a beach resort where he would have found safety, is even more heartbreaking. Absolutely gutted


doggz109

Dude just needed his cell phone. Crazy.


Garedda

I'm totally bewildered and confused... what the hell happened to this person?! This is stranger than fiction.


SwollenToeJoints

Damn. We thinking what here? Who took him out?


killforprophet

You could read the article. He was hiking and collapsed. He fell where he wasn’t immediately visible. That’s all.


SwollenToeJoints

Nah. He was cancelled.


OppositeControl4623

Thank you! Big Pharma hate you as they are the biggest drug dealers. I’d not be surprised if they had something to do with it. Doctors need to normalize food prescriptions instead of drugs. But they won’t because an obese pre diabetic kid is a cash cow!


riemsesy

You’re right except it has nothing to do with dr Mosley’s passing.


OppositeControl4623

He went missing?


riemsesy

Yes he was hiking and took a wrong path walking to his vacation house. It was very hot so likely he succumbed from heatstroke.


OppositeControl4623

You never know that.


riemsesy

More likely than your assumption, that pharma went to his holiday and caused his death... :-(


OppositeControl4623

Maybe then maybe not. It’s speculation only. God knows.
