Body found in Jay Slater search is confirmed as missing teenager

The body found in the search for Jay Slater is that of the missing teen, it has been confirmed following a post mortem.

A court spokesperson in Tenerife confirmed on Tuesday that fingerprints confirmed the body was missing Jay, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire. The injuries suggested he had fallen from a cliff, they added. He had been at a rave with friends at Papagayo, a nightclub on the Veronicas strip in Playa de las Americas, on the Sunday night before heading back to an AirBnb in the remote village with two British men he'd met on the trip. Leaving the remote rental, Jay was seen trying to get a bus before attempting the 11-hour journey back on foot, telling a friend his phone was on 1% battery.

A Civil Guard spokesperson said on Monday, July 15: “After 29 constant days of searching the lifeless body of the young man has been found in the Masca area. The discovery has been possible thanks to the tireless and discreet search carried out by the Civil Guard over these 29 days.
