The search for missing celebrity doctor Michael Mosley resumed on Friday, two days after he went missing while hiking on the Greek island of Symi.
The British TV personality vanished on Wednesday on a walk from the island’s St Nicholas Beach, known in Greek as Agios Nikolaos, to the small holiday resort of Pedi.
The mayor of the small island, which is part of the Dodecanese chain near the Turkish coast, said it was “impossible” he was still in the area because it was small and easy for rescuers to check.
“It is a very small, controlled area, full of people,” said Eleftherios Papakalodoukas.
“So if something happened to him there, we would have found him by now,” he told the BBC.
