I'm an expat living in Greece. I've been to the island of Symi. NOBODY goes on hikes in the middle of the day in blistering heat. NOBODY does any walking in exposed unshaded areas during midday / early afternoon sun. It's exactly the same as saying let me hike around Giza, The Pyramids of Egypt. The heat bouncing off the rocks is physically palpable. It''s disgustingly & uncomfortably hot!!! I don't know why a Doctor had zero situational awareness & put himself at risk. Such a senseless tragedy.

[@krob2327]

Agreed. It was pure stupidity I’m afraid. It’s brutal there the heat you have to stay indoors or time your outside time sensibly

[@margote7965]

English people don't realise what the heat can do to you. A bottle of water will last 5 minutes in 47 degrees heat. It looks like he thought he had enough for a 30 minute walk, ran out and went down the rocks as a shortcut as he saw the bar close by. He had no walking poles so fainted or tripped and the heat did the rest. We can walk all day in our country but in hot countries follow the locals and stay under shelter during the heat of the day. I went to a bar in Greece where the owner said they live their lives at nighttime. I ran out of water a few times cycling in the heat. You just don't realise how heat effects the body.

[@elipotter369]

I agree. When he said he felt unwell, it was probably already from the heat.

[@deborahcurtis1385]

@@elipotter369 Exactly so his judgement was already impaired. So when he should have realised he was on the wrong path, normally anyone would retrace their steps. But he powered on because his judgement was off in the first place to walk back alone and off with those who thought this was ok in someone who declared himself 'feeling unwell'. None of them were thinking straight they all had a bit of brain-melt. What worries me is when people go on holiday mode, they switch off commonsense... even doctors. Leaving the mobile phone behind is theoretically great, until it isn't. Keep it on you, but switched off, so you can still use it if and when you need to. I always drive with the mobile and the recharging chord and plug. Always. Just in case. I take a fully charged mobile with me when walking. Always. It's about good habits. Have a large amount of water on you PLUS electrolytes on hot days if you do have to go out. Don't go out in the heat of the day when over 50 years old for any length of time, and especially if you have any health issues, just stay indoors in the heat of the day and walk in the cool of the day. Going to the beach in 40 degree heat is just absurd ...if you're young you will get away with it but it's a mistake to imagine that because you're fit and older you can take it. Everyone's judgement gets impaired in the heat, even the younger sun bakers and people lounging in the shade the blazing sun is still doing damage and it reflects off the water; it's basic to understand this. The irony is doctors on holidays are as flawed as anyone else. We all need to face up to the risks and take sensible precautions and not let them slip even when on holidays. 40 degree heat is simply dangerous to be outside in, full stop. With climate change we must be vigilant. This is so painful I loved Dr Mosley.

I'm originally from UK and had to learn the hard way just how dangerous the Australian heat can be. During a trip to Alice Springs and Uluru (Ayers Rock), I saw many European tourists walking the rocky terrain in open toed sandals, wearing no hat and carrying insufficient water. Many of them flaked out and lay under the scant coverage of a scrubby tree and equally many were badly sunburnt on their pale skin. Please, if you come to Oz or travel to hot countries, be aware the sun can be lethal. It was so sad to hear of Michael Mosley's death. Apparently an otherwise fit man succumbing to heatstroke, maybe.

No one is commenting on the fact that he had type two diabetes, and that he was managing it with diet instead of medication, which is why he developed the 5:2 diet, so there he was in 97° heat at age 67 in the bright sunshine. If he got lost, he did not get back to the residence in the predicted one hour, and this means that he was not there for dinner annd eating, so critical for managing his diabetes. We don’t know what time he came over that mountain and down the rocky slope, but if it was at night time, everything was against him. He may have been out of it because of the heat and diabetes, and when he was getting so close, he probably fell, maybe hitting his head. Imagine running into that fence, and not knowing what to do if indeed, he did get up against the fence. There was no gate through it. I wish that he had recognized he was lost and had turned around and retrace his steps back. There are the pictures they took of the path he followed, a very rocky little winding path that almost disappeared, when the path he was supposed to have taken was much wider and clearer.
