1. The rolling news headlines on this story with constant updates and speculation have given me such an uneasy feeling.

4. Sad as it is, even if he managed those few extra metres, his body was probably too far gone to have been saved.

5. I am a fan of him, though I am not from UK. I am still surprised that an intelligent and rational person like him went alone to a hike in foreign country, in the middle of the day with very high temperature and without a mobile phone?! I do not know the place, but does not seem like a huge island covered with deep forests, so I still cannot understand how it took so long to find him?! Anyway rest in peace Mr. Michael Mosley. There are many people around the world who like you and appreciate your work. God bless him!

6. Worst part to come will be the news re enactment of his final journey and how close he came to safety, they’ll shot for shot walk his dying moments

7. The constant coverage is uncalled for. A man lost his life, yes he was famous so the initial interest in his disappearance is to be expected but the media now need to drop it.

8. The article doesn’t have anything to say about him being metres from safety. Not sure of the need to sex up the story like the title

9. Very sad, but remember kids: don’t go for a walk in blistering heat on a fast day.

10. Just let the fella rip. Howw many died in Palestine in the last few days, including children ?

11. When it comes to heat exhaustion “distance to safety” doesn’t necessarily mean they were close to surviving. Even if he found shade, a way to cool down and some water, once the effects are taking hold you are far from out of the woods.

12. Probably a heart attack….like thousands of other ordinary non-celebs die of each day. Sadly they dont get wall to wall news coverage, helicopters and multiple boats looking for them

13. This obsession with the details of a person’s death seen in this story is just weird. Is there some ‘guess the death’ competition I’ve not been made aware of?

14. I don’t get why this keeps being said. His body was found just metres from safety but didn’t he fall down a rocky hillside to get there

15. Read the most stupid thing in norwegian newspaper VG this morning about his death

    “We found comfort in knowing he was so close to making it”

    ??? Comfort, really

16. It is a bit odd though that he could be seen from a bar. Sure, you might not have noticed but if there is a man missing which apparently the whole island was aware of and mystified, you would have thought the bar owner might have pottered over and had a quick look at their surrounding area.

    Totally fine that it might not have been top of their list however if the mayor could see him, I presume from having a drink at the bar, it’s strange that no else did for four whole days.

    Not a conspiracy theory, or trying to ruffle feathers, simply musing out loud!
