It's a very sad story, that's for sure.  Tragic loss.

I have to say though, I've never heard of the guy.

I checked out all of his TV shows/specials on Wiki, and I've never heard of any of them.

Was he just popular in the UK?

Gosh no, his programmes were televised in Melbourne for years, his shows were very medically scientific and educational. He was such a lovely down to earth happy person.
I enjoyed his shows. If you get a chance to see his shows from past, you will see what he was like and was so well liked.

He, being English and from what I’ve read was 40 deg on that Greek island, even if he were still alive/unconscious… having been out in the heat for days/nights… would be perishing for anyone!
And wearing dark/black colours isn’t helping the body to stay cool under a hot sun.
I thought earlier why wear black and have a black umbrella … then I remembered the English are like us in Melbourne, black fashions are just the thing.
When I go interstate to Qld I have to remind myself not to wear Melbourne black too much!

Not sure what you mean. Despite having a current respiratory infection -- actually, it cleared up this morning -- I was out last night in 10°C temperatures walking around a 4km course. Needing to rehydrate at the halfway mark, I drank about 400mL of water. If this was the middle of the day, I would have finished that canister of water in one sitting. But, then again, I am not walking around a Greek island with no apparent knowledge of where I am.

Dr Mosley must have had a medical episode and was delirious. After many hours of wandering aimlessly, Mosley would have succumbed to heat exhaustion. He would have died in the next 24 hours after that.
