Spanish rescuers recover body in search for missing Briton Jay Slater

An autopsy has confirmed that a body found by Spanish rescuers in Tenerife on Monday is that of the missing British teenager Jay Slater.

Slater went missing after going to a music festival on the island four weeks ago. The Canary Islands High Court of Justice says injuries on his body suggest his death had been caused by an accidental fall

None of it adds up but I’m not going to try and make sense of it because I’ll never know and neither will you.

This whole case doesn’t make sense it’s just so random why would he just go in the middle of nowhere and why didn’t they smell his body? Even the sniffer dogs couldn’t

[Griffsconstruction]

He was put there if the dogs didn’t smell him when they was searching an he was found where his phone last pinged cmon don’t take bull he was murdered

[SKOLAH]

If you are capable of doing so, spare a thought for those grieving for him before posting an unintelligent comment devoid of compassion for those who loved him. Seeing strangers discussing the death of a loved one is really difficult. I know, because I've experienced it.

He was running/escaping from something. Even off your nut youd follow the road at least. Yet he was never seen again after the Airbnb owner saw him? Means he left the road pretty quickly; walking is an odd choice as it is but leaving the road into “hard to reach terrain” almost immediately after setting off makes no sense even if you’re absolutely pinging.

Masca is a popular place to hike illegally on top of amazing hydraulic infrastructure (partial underground water channels) on cliffs. This is prohibited but at this point we know nothing whatsoever about this casualty, however, as a local who knows the area, Teno and in particular masca area, is quite arte to those who want to post something risky and exacting. It is very strange to find someone in this area walking alone simply because this area is full of cliffs and rock falls and other hazards are a risk

I don’t understand it because the search was called off but I have a feeling he may have passed on the day he went missing

[ambergibson]

We didn't see a recovery..i wonder why that wasn't played or shown??

[kitcat]

We were told that the search was off, until the Dutch search team were coming in?

[TheDemon-clth]

He’s been dumped down there no doubt he had been getting kept for ransom but his disappearance gained to much attention

[kaynetaylor]

Was that his body being airlifted with rescuer at the end? If so is a 30day old body going to be recoverable with a harness like that?

[jake]

How would they know the fall was before the death

[happydace]

Is this guys dark past true or not ? National news on TV portray him as a ' lovely Lancashire lad ' 🤔

Jay Slater's actions are what doesn't make sense - if he was still off his head then it's understandable - if he feared going back was a) someone after him; B) off his head and hallucinations.

Poor kid. I think people should stop speculating

[ChipZilla]

Why does he get to ride in a helicopter and I do not.

[steigerbower]

Same team responsible for the Dr ! Just don't go for a walk on holiday if you know too all !
