Jay also fell to his death into an area not easily accessible, not even by a dog. There was no way to know he was there unless hikers and climbers had to go into a deeper area on foot, and special gear.

People that don't know what these searchers are dealing with, should stop criticizing. A huge thank you is due to all those that participated in the search efforts.

[angel-lkwl]

Ohhh Mr & Mrs Slater my sincere condolences.

[edward]

At least it’s some closure. Imagine if his body was never found

The mother should demand to see the body, she should not trust the spanish authorities

The Spanish Civil Guard Corps is a police force with a military organization. It was created in 1844 and has always stood out for its efficiency and good work. I say this because I have worked a lot with them. But it never contributes to media spectacles or to foment hoaxes and speculation. She works very seriously and is reserved in her actions. He never stopped looking for that boy, but he considered his search on the ground “finished” to prevent hundreds of fans, some with good intentions and others out of unhealthy morbidity, from coming to look for him without knowing the terrain and without being prepared to do so. exposing themselves to suffering an accident. Proof of the tireless and effective work carried out by the Civil Guard is that they finally found the boy's body. Only those of us who know that area know the extraordinary nature of the terrain, very, very rugged, full of ravines and precipices, with very dense vegetation. Being a volcanic island, the type of stones is sharp and very slippery. What happened to that boy was a product of absolute ignorance of the terrain and thinking that he was much closer to the beach than he actually was. He saw the sea, and in a straight line it seems that it is close, but it is an extremely misleading assessment. Once he left the road he would lose sight of the sea, and unfortunately walked into a death trap. He must have slipped and fallen off a cliff. No human or material efforts were spared in the search for him (mountain equipment, drones, specialized search dogs, drones, etc.). That the Civil Guard did not accept the collaboration of the English police is because they could not contribute anything. From the beginning they had the hypothesis that Jay Slater must have suffered an accident, the problem is that finding him in that rugged territory is the same as finding a needle in a haystack. My congratulations to the Civil Guard, and my deepest condolences to the family and friends. May he rest in peace (R.I.P).

If it's that horrendous...he would NOT have ventured that far.

[AnnAldridge-vp]

Why don’t you all go visit there, then comment.

[JustSaying]

Well, if something sinister did actually occur, I guess we'll just never know. 😢

[thelmamcmorn]

Doesn’t matter what he done we have all done things in our lifetime that we regret i take it you haven’t . So sad RIP JAY

The Spanish Civil Guard, they acted with absolute efficiency and with great discretion, until they found a needle in a haystack. J.
Slater, R.I.P.

Strangers made him missing, strangers took him into the mountain, strangers took his phone, strangers killed him

I do wonder if this was a person of colour and had previous convictions, would anyone really care about them? I do feel for the family but the guy was no saint, being part of a gang that violently beat down someone a few years back tells me he was probably involved in a lot of other crimes but didn't get caught

[DjMellowMoods]

found body and found remines is 2 diff things. i dont think its him or the media would say clearly jays body was found but they are saying remains are found meaning maybe been there super long time and could be anyone.

[Chexsum]

the guy that lost the rolex must be happy hes got it back

[Lukydada-]

Just so everyone knows this is the same person who was involved in a Machete attack and laughed about it in court receiving community service and proceeding to steal Rolex Watches

[C-squareddd]

At least they found the body, ifthe didnt then they would have just been hoping and desperate at least they dont have to just silently hope

[vls]

Dr michael Mosley missing for days in easier terrian to search found behind a fence 200 meters from help ....this terrian is far more difficult to find someone .

[DjMellowMoods]

so what happen to the rolex watch what happen to the drugs what happen to him. i think they is alot more to this.
