A police spokesman, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of an ongoing investigation, said the body was found on a rocky coast by a private boat and that formal identification was pending.
By Sunday morning the search and rescue operation had focussed on a network of water-filled tunnels on a rocky area near the coastal town of Agia Marina.
It's believed Mosley apparently set off on a walk along a nearby coastal path on Wednesday afternoon and had been missing ever since.
Mosley is well-known in Britain for his regular appearances on television and radio and for his column in the Daily Mail newspaper. He is known outside the U.K. for his 2013 book “The Fast Diet,” which he co-authored with journalist Mimi Spencer. The “5:2 diet" set out how people can lose weight fast by minimizing their calorie intake for two days in a week while eating healthily on the other five.
He has subsequently introduced the Fast 800 diet, a rapid weight loss programme, and has made a number of films about diet and exercise.
Mosley has often pushed his body to extreme lengths to see the effects of his diets and also lived with tapeworms in his guts for six weeks for the BBC documentary “Infested! Living With Parasites.”
Our journalists are working on this breaking story and more details will follow shortly.
