Deputy Mayor Ilias Haskas said: "During our research, and as we were approaching a cave next to the Agia Marina beach, we were shooting along the coastline with cameras.

"We saw an object next to a fence on the beach and when we zoomed in we realised that it was Michael Mosley's body. He had probably fallen from a short cliff of about 10 metres."

Search efforts began on Thursday and continued through to Sunday morning, with officials confirming they wouldn't stop searching until Dr Mosley was found.
