CCTV images have emerged showing TV doctor Michael Mosley half an hour after he left a Greek beach and went missing.
Dr Mosley and his wife Claire were holidaying with another couple on the Greek island of Symi when he was reported missing on Wednesday afternoon.
The four of them had taken a boat and gone for a swim at Saint Nikolas Beach – however, Dr Mosley preferred to return on foot at around 1.30pm, Athens-based newspaper Kathimerini reported.
The CCTV images were captured by a restaurant at around 2pm local time, police believe.
The beachside eatery is located in Pedi, a small town in a bay around 1.2km from Saint Nikolas Beach.

Dr Mosley, his wife and the other couple arrived in Symi for a week’s holiday on Tuesday, according to local media.
The doctor had been missing for just over 48 hours, as of Friday afternoon.
Symi has been experiencing hot temperatures this week and its mayor Lefteris Papakalodoukas told a local news site the heat on Wednesday was “unbearable and one could easily faint in such conditions”.

One woman in the Pedi area said the TV doctor’s disappearance was “strange” as the path he was thought to be on is “clear”.
“It’s a quiet place,” she said. “If you see the map of the area it’s a clear path, it’s nothing dangerous.
“Many people go every day, every few minutes, that’s the reason it’s very strange because it’s a clear path.”
