The failure to find Dr Michael Mosley sooner has been branded “absurd” by critics as searching questions grow over how rescuers missed him during a four-day search.
After a five-day extensive search, his body was discovered near an umbrella beneath a fence encircling a bar on Agia Marina beach, according to local officials.
Dr. Mosley, 67, was last seen leaving Saint Nikolas beach at 1:30 PM, apparently intending to take the coastal path back to the nearby village of Pedi. CCTV footage from a house at the edge of the marina in Pedi, which has not been released to the media, captured him entering a hazardous mountainous trail around 2 PM on Wednesday.
