A body believed to belong to British television presenter Michael Mosley was found on a Greek island, ending a days-long search.
"It's devastating to have lost Michael, my wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband," Mosley's wife, Dr. Clare Bailey Mosley, said in a statement, according to Reuters. "We had an incredibly lucky life together. We loved each other very much."
Early Sunday morning, a body believed to be Mosley's was found in a rocky area close to the sea and a beach bar near Agia Marina in Symi, Reuters reports.
Police officials said a coroner ruled out foul play, but couldn't determine the cause of death. His body was transferred to the neighboring Dodecanese island of Rhodes, where more tests will be done.
"It is certainly him," Nikitas Grillis, the deputy mayor of Symi, said while officials wait for formal identification of the body.
