Michael Mosley has been found dead on the Greek island of Symi after a lengthy search operation.
The BBC presenter was found in a cave, search teams said.
In a news conference, Eleftherios Papakaloudoukas said Mosley was found dead just 10 meters away from the Agia Marina beach.
The body was spotted by a Greek TV crew that had hired a boat to film in the area.
Mosley was reported missing on Wednesday after setting off on a walk from Saint Nikolas Beach at about 1.30pm local time but failed to return home.
Papakaloudoukas said Mosley most likely died of heat stroke and exhaustion.
He added that the area Mosley is believed to have travelled through is “difficult to pass” and is “only rocks” and is home to “loads” of snakes.
Emergency workers were searching for the 67-year-old in around 40C heat for four days.
