Subject: RE: Obit: Dr. Michael Mosley - UK physician/journalist
Unfortunately, robomatic, I have had two falls in the last year, with the second one resulting in a broken arm, and probably caused by the first fall with severe shock to my knees and two months of pain, leg weakness and difficulty walking. A year after the first fall and seven months after the second I'm almost back to normal but I am more aware that normal for someone in their late 60's is not as good as it was even just 10 years before.
The verdict from the autopsy implies that Dr Mosley may have fallen while walking on the rocky, hilly slope and that he had lost his way while trying to go back to where he was staying which could, in my inexpert opinion, have something to do with the extreme heat making it difficult for him to think clearly. I am also assuming that most of the locals would have been sheltering indoors or even having a siesta and there would have been very few local people outside to witness the events or to help in an emergency.
