The report did confirm that the beloved on-screen personality didn't die of suicide, homicide or any accident related to injuries.

A document from the coroner also revealed crucial details of the fatal trip.

It read: "On the morning of June 5, they travelled to Pedi Beach, arriving late morning.

"Michael had intentionally left his mobile phone back at the house to prevent it getting wet on the ferry.

"Later in the afternoon Michael decided he was going to walk back home rather than take the ferry.

"He had his rucksack, one litre of water and a biscuit, and had a hat and umbrella."

Michael was described as looking "energetic and cheerful" at the start of the day just minutes before he wandered off by himself.

It took emergency teams five days to find Mosley's body on the Greek island of Symi.

According to a witness, he was only discovered after someone noticed a shine from his watch.

The health guru was tragically just a 90-second walk from the safety of a beach resort bar before he collapsed.

Dr Mosley's wife Clare Bailey raised the alarm on Wednesday evening after her husband failed to return back to their holiday home.

An autopsy completed in Rhodes earlier this year signalled Dr Mosley may have taken a final rest before he died.

A report shows that the position of his body indicates the doctor appeared to have rested his hand on a wall before collapsing.

What may have happened to Dr Mosley?

Questions still remain over how Dr Mosley ended up on the mountainous route.

There are theories Dr Mosley was either trying to get to the resort just 100 yards away or had been heading to the sea hoping to cool off in 37C temperatures.

It is thought he could have then collapsed or slipped and banged his head.

Mayor Eleftherios Papakaloudoukas believes, however, that Dr Mosley could have "felt rather unwell and laid down" before dying.

Dr Mosley is feared to have lost his bearings trying to walk from a beach to his holiday home on the island.

His body was finally found 100 yards from the safety of a restaurant — and 150 yards from a spot searched by their four grown-up children the day before.

He is understood to have taken a wrong turn - ending up on a rocky, mountainous trek for nearly two hours in unforgiving 37C heat.

Dr Mosley's movements between when he was last seen in Pedi just before 2pm and when he was seen on CCTV making his final walk towards bar at around 3.45pm remain a mystery.

The walk from Pedi to Agia Marina - where he was found - normally takes around 30 to 40 minutes if you stick to the path, yet it took Dr Mosley at least one hour and 45 minutes.
