RHODES, Greece (AP) — Dr. Michael Mosley was his own guinea pig.
In the name of science, the British television host put his body to the test by ingesting tape worms, injecting snake venom and letting leeches suck his blood.
What didn't kill him made him more popular and he reached millions through BBC programs like “Trust Me, I'm a Doctor," other appearances on TV and radio, and through bestselling diet books.
In the end, his death came during a hike in the blazing sun on the Greek island where was vacationing.
