Michael Mosley's cause of death has been described as "unascertainable" by a coroner after the TV doctor was found dead on a Greek island in June following a multi-day search and rescue mission.

At an inquest on Friday, a coroner recorded an open conclusion regarding his death - six months after he went missing after going on a walk

In June, a search for the broadcaster and columnist, 67, was launched on Symi, part of the Dodecanese island chain, by emergency services, and his body was found four days later.

Senior coroner for Buckinghamshire, Crispin Butler, said Dr Mosley's death was "indeterminate" and "unascertainable", adding that it "was most likely attributable either to heatstroke (accidental) or non-identified pathological cause".

In written findings, Mr Butler said Dr Mosley's death was not found to be as a result of homicide, suicide, or an accident related to injuries.
