I've heard that the 12k 'Rolex' wasn't an actual Rolex but the name of a new batch of mdma pill and that his mate Lucy was all wrapped up in the theft and planted his phone up where it pinged in the mountains.

If he had nicked that amount of drugs from someone, they would not let that go.

Anchor chain round his ankles and dumped in the sea would be my guess

Thanks Annie, still doesn't make sense at all why he chose to go off road and try to walk home though, unless he was trying to run from someone or he was off his tits on something and thought it was a good idea

sad news for the family but at least they will have closure now

If he was pushed it will be very hard to establish murder as a cause as he could just as easily have fallen, I mean maybe he did decide to walk but something about it feels very off .

Rescue workers searching for missing British teenager Jay Slater in Tenerife have found a body and are trying to identify it, Spanish police have told Sky News.

"Evidence strongly suggests" the remains are those of the 19-year-old, officers added.

Police said in a statement: "The mountain rescue and intervention group of the Civil Guard has located the lifeless body of a young man in the Masca area after 29 days of constant search.

"Given the complexity of the case, the discovery has been possible thanks to the incessant and discreet search carried out by the Civil Guard during these 29 days, in which the natural space was preserved so that it would not be filled with curious onlookers.

"All indications indicate that it could be the young British man who has been missing since June 17 in the absence of full identification.

"The first investigations reveal that he could have suffered an accident fall in the inaccessible area where he was found."

Canarias Radio reported the Civil Guard had found a body in the village of Masca.

"All indications point to it being Jay Slater, the young British man who disappeared on 17 June in Tenerife," the station posted on X.

"The first investigations point to an accident or fall in the area," it added.

Mr Slater was last heard from after setting off to walk from a northern area of the island back to his holiday accommodation in the south - a journey of about 11 hours.

He flew out to the Spanish island with friends on 13 June to attend a music festival at Papagayo nightclub in the southern resort of Playa de las Americas three days later.

At 8.30am on 17 June he called his friend Lucy Law, telling her he had missed a bus, his phone battery was on 1%, and he had cut his leg on a cactus.

On Sunday his mother, Debbie Duncan, said the family "cannot put into words" the heartache they have been through.

She said her son was "loved by everyone and has a close bond with his family and many, many friends".

Ms Duncan described her boy as a "loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend to so many".

:shrug: Not necessarily to be honest, yes it'll show if he was shot/stabbed/beaten to death but unfortunately a "death by accidental fall" (despite what CSI-type shows would have us believe) is relatively easy to fake as a method of killing someone, especially in a rural area with time/no witnesses.

It doesn't really matter that much either way to be honest, it's a "death by misadventure" whether he just stupidly wandered off and fell, or got himself involved in something else... the outcome is the same and the cause ultimately is similar and all-too-common for young people especially young boys as a cause of untimely death. Didn't realise what danger he was putting himself in, made some tragic mistakes.

As before I do still feel for his parents - regardless of what happened and regardless of what he'd done in the past, that's still someone's kid, and not even like "adult offspring", 20 is still basically a child, especially in the mind of a parent.

I wouldn't say it doesn't matter, yes he's still dead but if someone was responsible it should be looked into regardless but yes if he was pushed off a cliff or something that's probably impossible to prove

Yes true enough. My own son is 20 now so I agree 20 is still a child to me. Although that machete business.. not the average "boys will be boys" stuff I have to say...

No it's obviously horrendous, and tbf I understand why it lessens the sympathy that the general public feel for the guy himself, but I doubt it lessens the pain felt by parents (might make it even worse if they're left thinking they did a poor job/their parenting resulted in some of his life choices - which of course, may in part be the case).

True

[MTVN]

Looks like another case where the truth is simpler than most of the theories

There seems to be a real trend atm for the public to latch onto any story where there's an element of the unknown and subject it to wild speculation. Happened with things like Nicola Bulley, Kate Middleton's illness, this case and now it's also happening with the Trump shooting

It just seemed like such an odd decision to make, to go off road and try and walk such a distance back to where he was staying but I guess if he'd been partying all night his judgment might have been impaired and he just made a stupid choice

Yeah I think he was probably very disoriented through a combo of drug use, dehydration, heat stroke and no sleep. Maybe thought he'd end up finding some form of transport or that someone would come pick him up at some point

It is still possible he was killed of course but some of the theories were much more outlandish about what might have happened

I don't know the Island but maybe he thought he could cut through and find a shorter route home off road? Which obviously is a terrible move unless you really know where you're going

Nicola Bulley one was exacerbated by the fact the police took like a month to find a bobbing about body in a small river half a mile from where she was last seen

It's a vague combination of three things IMO

1) People have realised that the press is sometimes/often unreliable on getting the full, true story and always has been and thus there will be doubt in every case. "Boy Who Cried Wolf" springs to mind -- no one is willing to automatically believe the prescribed narrative, and thus theories abound to fill the vacuum of "not knowing" which people do not do well with. I mean... this is largely the reason organised religion exists, it's pretty baked into human psychology. We want to know, if we feel we don't know, we will imagine.

2) Instantaneous global communication (accelerated pace of the above age-old mechanism).

2) Simple post-capitalist existential boredom. We have a lot of time to sit around dreaming **** up.

[bots]

what we do know is that he wasn't chopped up and dropped in the sea. This outcome at least allows some form of closure if that's what the family needs

[user104658]

Agreed, best case scenario would be being found alive but a body found is far preferrable to never knowing - which I can only imagine is torturous.

[Ammi]

…I don’t know if I posted it earlier in the thread but I know that I intended to…this is a very interesting article that I read quite early on after Jay’s disappearance and when some of his violent past was revealed and how the internet and social media became a place of cruelty toward him and his family…the article also mentions the ‘armchair detective’ internet activity with Nicola Bully and also how the ‘real Martha’ of the Baby Reindeer story was hounded ….all very toxic stuff…

…yeah, an unimaginable thing for a parent to hear those words…’remains have been found…’…then all hope is gone…?..but the not knowing either, though…just destroying…we had a local lad go missing some years back and the not knowing for his family was just …well, I can’t even think of a word…

You should read about "the perfect victim" / "the ideal victim" social theories Ammi. They're not exactly what you describe above but conceptually very close - essentially, it's about the purity of the victim directly influencing how worthy they are of sympathy (or being taken seriously at all). Played a VERY heavy hand in the Depp/Heard trial, for example.

It's usually more strongly applied to women than to men (society being, as a whole, far more forgiving of males) however Jay Slater is a clear example of similar happening with a male -- perhaps because of the severity of his past actions.

[Denver]

His bidy was planted

[user104658]

Forensically that's very easy to prove or disprove - to put it undelicately... the ground underneath a fresh/decaying corpse gets saturated with fresh corpse juice. They can quickly and easily test if someone died where the body is found.

…yeah…(…I think…)…because Jay’s past actions and history of violence would make both him and his family unrelate-able, which kind of throws it all into chaos..and then the power of the internet…as in social media will then all group together in such a negative wave…a bit like the pitchfork scenes in old movies…?…it become like a ‘pack bullying’ almost but it almost become acceptable, its quite weird…I don’t know how it would relate to the Depp/Heard trial but I’ll be interested in that because that in itself had so many areas of ‘uniqueness’…and really engaged public interest with some very strong opinions of it…it really did also become ‘divisive’….

In short, there's a common attitude both in public and in courts that someone can't be an abuser if they aren't "pure" (i.e. if they've ever done or said anything abusive themselves). People were successfully convinced that Amber Heard "had done bad stuff too" and thus couldn't be a victim of abuse (which, even if true, is incorrect both legally and logically, but that's the whole issue).

…oh that sounds so interesting, exactly my thing…:laugh:…I’ll look up some stuff on ‘the perfect victim’…but yeah, I can see how that’s the ‘relatable’ thing, isn’t it…like in Jay’s case when his past meant that he did something that was unrelatable but then his family and entire circle become unrelatable too…I mean, these things don’t apply to everyone on the internet or everyone on social media etc…but it does all become a collective thing and has a huge impact on ‘the victims’ …/…the people that it’s projected toward…

[Gusto Brunt]

I've suspected either he secretly flew home, OR he's been dead since the day he went missing.

[bots]

his body may have been dumped after the search wound down, but realistically, if he fell into an inaccessible location, it could have been years until he was found.

Given he was in the middle of nowhere and off the road, it's unlikely it was foul play

The sad part is the Spanish police wont be interested on whether he died by misadventure, they will close the book on accidental death. Poor Jay if there was no nefarious involvement he made some very bad decisions in a short space of time

There isn't going to be much left of a body exposed to extreme heat in the open for nearly a month. Unless he had been shot and it damaged bone, they really have no way of knowing how he met his end

i think he probably did a runner from the house and was keeping off the road so he was hard to find. If he was hitching on the road he is a sitting duck for someone chasing him

In terms of if he fell down the ravine or was pushed/thrown down the ravine (alive) and left to die then true. As above, it is still forensically possible to discern whether he died where he was found, or if he died elsewhere and was moved later.

I agree with Cherie though - the Tenerife police are not going to look to closely at the details, case will be chalked up to an accidental fall and closed. Tenerife's entire local economy is dependent on party-goers/tourism... the last thing they want is for it to develop a reputation as being violent/dangerous for British youngsters.

[user104658]

i think he probably did a runner from the house and was keeping off the road so he was hard to find.

I think that's possible but I also think it's possible that he was simply still drunk/high as a kite and had no idea where he was going. We've all wandered off-piste as an inebriated 19 year old and suddenly realised "Hold up I have no clue where I am or how I got here...".

It's just that it'll turn out to be a random KFC in Cumbernauld rather than a remote walking trail.

[Ammi]

…I’ve seen the videos of the area where he was found and it’s so mountainous and treacherous, even for someone used to that type of terrain…it does feel strange that he would choose to take that route unless there was a very specific reason….I read that the autopsy was Tuesday so I presume that it’s meant today…?…not next Tuesday…

An average funeral costs about 9ish grand, maybe a bit more, begging for more donations when she’s already been given multiple 10’s of thousands is absurd.

If only he had received the proper punishment for his violent thuggery, maybe he’d still be alive now

I heard a rumour that some music artists want paid for songs played at funerals.

For once I agree with you…

[Cherie]

Would you want to be her for all the money in the world if it was your son?

If it were my son, I would be very grateful for what was already donated which should be more than enough to fund 4 weeks waiting in Tenerife, repatriating the body and a funeral....I would not be asking people to donate more so I could give him a great send off, which lets be honest is neither here nor there ...what exactly is the send off he deserves? no more than anyone kid who dies before their time, she wants to give him a better send off than she can with 60k in the bank....then pay for it yourself...

Well said cherie..

As hurtful as the death of a young man is, his death should never be made into a procession, and her mind in my opinion shouldnt even be there.

But, you can never tell someone how to deal with grief.

[arista]

she has 60K in "donations" and she wants more for a 5K funeral?

staggering


Now £70K

[Cherie]

If this was about giving him a good send off she has more than enough now so the decent thing to do would be to close the Go Fund Me but I doubt that will happen

they are trying to keep it in the news and milk it from where i'm standing.

[A post-mortem examination found
he died of traumatic head injuries,
consistent with a fall from height.
His death would have been instantaneous.]

Why is this news again? We already knew he was a horrible thug

Because his mother stopped the court.
As she wants his mates to speak in court.

[Denver]

I think its more obvious than ever he was murdered and his best freind was involved

[MTVN]

I don't think he was murdered but he was clearly a nasty piece of work as were his 'friends'. Not surprised they don't want to go to an inquest where that's all revealed in public

[Benjamin]

Nah he was just ****ed up and unlucky in his choices that morning. All his own doing.

How can they know that he wasn’t ‘pushed’ though ?

…I guess that’s all part of the investigations tending to take a lengthy time to complete and having no evidence of anyone else being present at the time of the fall…that doesn’t mean that there will always be complete accuracy and errors aren’t possible but findings will be based on knowledge/experience as well as there will be factors that we the general public would never think to look for, I reckon…

i think circumstances led to the conclusion it was an accident. I know a girl that was walking her dog, and she simply lost concentration for a moment and fell off a cliff. These things happen all the time. Usually, it doesn't happen with a catastrophic outcome, but humans stumble around all the time, it's just who we are

A combo of coke, ketamine and ecstacy plus zero sleep won't really help your sense of awareness either
