THE family of TV doctor Michael Mosley have described the past year as “the hardest of our lives” in a tribute on the first anniversary of his death.
Michael, who died aged 67 while on holiday with his wife Clare on the Greek island of Symi last June, was known for popularising diets and fronting science programmes.

His wife wrote on Instagram: “It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since we lost Michael.
“Not a day goes by without thinking of him — his warmth, his laughter, his endless curiosity about the world, and his deep love for our family.
“This past year has been the hardest of our lives.”
Last month, the family set up a research project to honour his memory and help improve the nation’s metabolic health.

A clinical research fellowship will be established with King’s College London and the Chronic Disease Research Foundation.
The family added: “We are trying to carry on the work Michael was so passionate about.
“To live with purpose and joy, as he would have wanted us to.”
In December, a coroner ruled that Michael’s death on Symi was most likely due to “heatstroke (accidental) or a non-identified pathological cause”.
