The missing Brite tragically passed away
For nearly a month, a British teenager named Jay Slater has been missing on Tenerife. Now, human remains have been discovered by mountain rescue teams in the area where Jay Slater has been missing. The local police have announced this and added that the evidence strongly suggests that it is his remains.
A Spanish mountain rescue team has found human remains in the area on Tenerife where the British teenager Jay Slater has been missing for nearly a month. The local police have reported this and added: The evidence points strongly to his remains. In a statement, it is stated that the young man may have died from a fall in the inaccessible mountain area. An autopsy should now clarify whether it was an accident.
A police spokesperson reported that the corpse was found in the morning by a mountain rescue team of the Guardia Civil. "A young man's body was found in the Masca area after 29 days of continuous search", the Guardia Civil reported. Near the village, his family and police, as well as many helpers, had been searching for the missing 19-year-old. His mobile phone was last detected there. He had called his girlfriend and told her of his distress and that his battery was almost empty.
The rescue teams started their search shortly after the desperate call. Drones and tracking dogs were also used. The British Foreign Office also supports the family of the British man and is in contact with the local authorities, according to the "Guardian".
An offer of assistance from the British police was however rejected by their Spanish colleagues. The local police initially searched the mountain landscape where the teenager was last seen. Later, they focused on buildings near the place where the young man's mobile phone last received a signal.
For the British bricklayer apprentice from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, it was reportedly the first trip abroad without his parents. He wanted to celebrate with friends at the "New Rave Generation" festival. However, the group separated on June 16: While Slater's friends returned to their booked accommodation in Los Cristianos, he apparently joined some men he had met at the party. Together, they got into a rental car and drove to a holiday house on the outskirts of the village Masca in the mountains of Tenerife, according to the "Daily Mail".
The Guardia Civil, an international organization in Spain, confirmed the discovery of human remains believed to be Jay Slater in the Masca area of Tenerife, where he had been missing for over a month. The local authorities are awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine the cause of his death.
