The search for missing BBC presenter Michael Mosley continues for a third day with authorities looking into all possibilities of what could have happened to him.

Helicopters, drones, dogs, rescue crews in collaboration with volunteers are currently “combing” the area where the 67-year-old was last seen at a time when the temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius. Today, Friday, a team is expected to arrive from Rhodes to the island in order to assist in the investigations.

Fire services said they were called by police at around 11.15am on Thursday. to help with research. Six firefighters, a vehicle and a drone team were dispatched from the nearby island of Rhodes to help. Michael Mosley’s agent confirmed his disappearance yesterday, telling the Mirror he is “extremely worried”. His wife Claire Bailey alerted the authorities after her husband went missing after a walk along a rocky path between Agios Nikolaos beach and the village of Pedi.

“So far, we have no evidence of what may have happened, whether it is an accident… or something else,” said a senior police official who declined to be named.

“It probably fell into the sea and washed away or something else happened,” Symis Mayor Lefteris Papakalodoukas told Reuters. “It is impossible to be where the investigations are taking place. It’s a small area and it’s been thoroughly researched,” he said. “We have zero crime on our island. We are a small community and we are all upset,” he added.

Investigations are made more difficult as Michael Mosley did not take his mobile phone with him.

His disappearance became known in Britain and the country’s major media made the news known through emergency updates. The 67-year-old presenter is best known for programs such as the BBC’s Trust Me, I’m A Doctor and for his appearances on the BBC’s The One Show and ITV’s This Morning.

The dog Skar, who arrived in Symi by boat on Friday morning, also participates in the operation. Scar is specially trained to locate people in remote areas, according to the Mirror.

The officer, who declined to give his surname to the Mirror, said: “I will speak to the police on the island and they will tell us where to look. Scar can find someone whether they’re alive or dead.”
