He was discovered in a rocky area and it was later determined by Greek authorities that the 67-year-old had died of natural causes.
Buckinghamshire’s coroner has now listed his inquest for 2pm on November 14, saying Dr Mosley died on June 5.
His widow, Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, confirmed on June 9 that her husband’s body was found near Agia Marina, Symi.
She said he had taken a wrong route and collapsed “where he couldn’t be easily seen”.
