TV doctor Michael Moseley revealed he did not want to die early like his father during a final interview given before his sudden death in Greece.
Speaking with Telegraph In April, the 67-year-old British health guru said his father’s diabetes diagnosis when he turned 50 prompted him to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
“When my GP told me I had to start medication it shouldn’t have come as a shock because my dad had developed diabetes at the same age, I was 55 at the time,” Moseley said.
“I saw what happened to my father. He died at the age of 74, which is early today.”
Moseley, a father of four, went on to describe how his dedication to overcoming diabetes comes from wanting to be there for any potential grandchildren.
The BBC broadcaster was holidaying on the Greek island of Symi when he went missing last Wednesday, sparking a massive search that lasted days involving police, fire, coastguard and volunteers. His body was found on Sunday.
The initial autopsy concluded that Moseley died of natural causes and that there were no injuries on his body that could have caused his death, the BBC reports.
Moseley’s wife, Dr Claire Bailey, paid tribute to her “wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant” husband after his body was found.
The TV doctor was known for British documentary shows such as Channel 4 Michael Moseley: Who Made Britain Fat? and the BBC Trust me, I’m a doctor.
The broadcaster was also a regular on talk shows such as the BBC The only show and ITV This morningand was a columnist for Daily Mail.
