Body found in search for missing Jay Slater, Spanish police confirm

A BODY has been found by Spanish police searching for Jay Slater, it has been reported.

The 19-year-old, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, disappeared after setting off to walk back to his accommodation on the Spanish holiday island of Tenerife on June 17.

In a widely reported statement, Spanish police said a body had been found in the Masca area by the Civil Guard’s mountain rescue team.

The statement said evidence suggested the remains were those of Jay and that he could have died because of an accidental fall.

On Sunday his mother Debbie Duncan said the family was “desperate to find our beautiful boy” in a statement released through British overseas missing persons charity LBT Global.
