I too hope for a good outcome but with that landscape and the relatively extreme temperatures it does not bode well bearing in mind the period he has been missing

Not, it seems, officially confirmed/identified but by inference .....He's been found, but not in a good way.
One report says the body found was quite close to a beach area and another mentions a cave system.
It struck me that the news reports during the early hours of the searching was that it appeared to be somewhat haphazard and lacking in a co-ordinated plan. But it is all too easy to judge another countries methodology by the 'best/better in class'.
If/when(?) confirmed it will be a tragedy for his family & friends

IIRC the news bulletin a few hours back....
His PM reported as him dying at 4pm on the day of his disappearance from "natural causes".

Particularly in a foreign country. If my wife and I or just one of us goes out anywhere we both make sure that we have our phones on us.

One of you may want to go back early, or split for some reason. A phone to me is essential - be it for photos, maps (especially where you don't know the area), money, contact or emergency (he may well have had a heart attack or something and MAY have been able to get help)

Indeed. We have our own friends and family and kids (who although most have both numbers) they would contact the closest person first. We often split up if we go places, I'll wander with the camera, she will browse some shops. As said photos, she often has a better signal than me, I have parking apps and OS subscription for maps. If she calls me, I can give her the street or pub I'm sat outside of which she can stick in Google maps and find me. Same when we've been out and she wants to go back to the car, pin where the cars parked and just follow the map. And that's before we get into personal social media, music, podcasts etc
Crazy not to go out with a phone each imo

I don't suppose it's possible that he had a phone or contract which didn't work abroad? Granted I'm unusual in that I have no interest what so ever in phones and I do dislike carrying them but I may not be the only one who's clueless and disinterested.
I try to remember to take a phone with me when I go out but I do sometimes forget. A few months ago me and Mrs WW found a man collapsed in the local cemetery and both of us had forgotten our phones, not unusual for me but very unusual for a woman maybe.
Anyway. RIP and thoughts to his loved ones at this most difficult time.

Possible heart attack,then.
No-one's mentioned the heat. It was 40ºC .In old money that's 104ºF. Heat stroke maybe ? There was a photo of him as he started his walk and he had a brolly up..re the sun. My wife was sad to hear the news and when she told me he was a health expert the 40ºC heat was the first thing that came into my mind. I did wonder why someone as qualified as he was and into health went on,what, by all accounts, was a difficult route in 40ºC even though it was only a mile he had to go.

I too wondered about the heat. If not directly responsible perhaps inducing other problems, eg as you say 'heart attack', and from what I've seen it was very challenging terrain.
