Greek police spokeswoman Konstantia Dimoglidou told the BBC that an initial post-mortem examination has been carried out, which confirms there were no injuries on his body.
It also estimated that the time of death was around 4pm local time on Wednesday. He had left friends on the island’s Agios Nikolaos beach at around 1.30pm to go for a walk.
Ms Dimoglidou said that the position of his body means he died of natural causes. She also said toxicology and histology reports will take place.
Footage reportedly found by a beach bar at Agia Marina shows what appears to be the TV doctor making his way down a rocky slope close to a fence before he falls out of view.
The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One.
