The Spanish government has determined that Jay Slater’s injuries were consistent with those caused by a fall.
Early today (16 July), court authorities verified that the corpse discovered during the hunt for Jay Slater on Monday (15 July) is indeed that of missing British teenager Jay Slater.
On June 17, after visiting the Airbnb of several individuals he had met the night before at a Tenerife party, the 19-year-old first went missing.
He had his final known contact that morning with a buddy, informing her that he was almost out of battery life and ‘needed a drink’ before beginning the eleven-hour hike.
On Monday, the charity LBT Global said that his body, together with his belongings, was discovered close to his last known location.
