Jay Slater’s family said their “hearts are broken” after his body was identified in Tenerife.
Almost a month since the 19-year-old was last seen, a Spanish court confirmed that he had been identified through fingerprint tests and his injuries were “consistent with a fall in a rocky area”.
The teenager, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, had been missing since 17 June, after visiting an Airbnb rented by two people he had been with at the NRG music festival on the island.
His mother, Debbie Duncan, said “our hearts are broken” following the confirmation, which came after a 29-day search by police, family, friends and volunteers in difficult terrain across a mountainous area of the island.

The 1988 Coroners Act stipulates that a 2nd report be done by the UK coroners as Jay died overseas. The act stipulates that the proof of identity and cause of death be established. This is not something the coroners can choose to do, it is an act of law. Let us wait before we draw any conclusions.
Did he have the Rolex on his body? I'd be interested to know as I think it would explain if there was a chance he was followed,robbed and pushed or fell in the dark. Why ask the neighbours about the bus, why not his new "friends"
I certainly get a bad feeling about the bloke who rented the airb. I feel for His poor mama😢
It is weird about the two men thing…. why did the two men needed to drive him back to their place, and why then was left to find his own way back….. did the two men wanted unwanted acts with this boy and when it wasn't working, he was let go, did the boy went with them to procure something then it didn't work…. I think two men need to be responsible for his death to an extent…. how can u just take someone away and let them just go…
Did they identify the watch they found? “Fuck around and find out”
🤔
BBC news reports are also reporting that rain is wet.
Don't believe anything on the BBC.
❤🇱🇷🙏
R I P Jay. This happens a lot here in Canada. Terrain should never be taken for granted. Peace and Love to the family. ❤️🇨🇦

I am referring to the scene of BBC News, I am speaking from Bangladesh, the current situation of the student community in our country is very dire, we are being oppressed by the government, the government leadership and the police force, they are persecuting us, we want to be freed from this, to help us. Please help us😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Whatever the news sais , we still know there must be more to this , as he said himself he took a 12K watch , so where’s the watch and phone ???
It seems highly unlikely he would wander off like he did unless he had a good reason to , he could have had a lift / taxi or bus easily ….Instead of walking into 🏔️ with no water or full battery , there is no way this is a simple mistake of a youngster !
What about the toxicology report.
কার্যকর শুরু হয়ে গিয়েছে ❤️
