Death of Dr Michael Mosley

Dr Mosley died after going for a walk on the Greek island of Symi, where temperatures soared to 40C.

The host and author tragically left his phone with his wife when he went out to hike. And, in a resurfaced podcast episode, Michael confessed to deliberately leaving his phone on a walk previously.

The episode was exploring the benefits of less screen time. Michael supported this theory, as he said not having his phone allowed him to “be present in the moment”.

“Today I have left my phone at home and I am out for a walk in the woods nearby. I have found that not having the constant distraction of my phone has actually helped me to be present in the moment. So it has been a real positive,” he said.
