Human remains found in search for Jay Slater

No more in information as of yet. His poor family

@Billyballyboo but that's nothing to do with what happened in Tenerife? I'm not saying he's an angel, but they made him out to be a high up drug lord or something. He was just a kid who made mistakes, and turned his life around.

The moral of the sad tale is if you go out with friends, especially in a foreign country where you are going to either drink excessively or take drugs or both, is to stick together and make sure everyone gets back to where they are staying.

Do you know his other family then? Or have you just been reading the gossip?

The only positive is at least a funeral can be held and some closure for the family.

@Idealidealist erm a conversation? I'm stuck at home with 2 under two, they don't seem that interested talking about the current news with me!

According to the Manchester Evening News, the gang members laughed and joked throughout the trial.

Judge Philip Parry addressed the defendants, stating, "You should all eight be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves but I am not at all convinced you are.

Sounds lush.

It seemed obvious from the outset that someone dehydrated, and hung over without strong hiking boots and protective gear would be more likely injured and succumbed to exposure.

That is severe terrain for an inexperienced walker.

Poor Jay. {Or whoever it is}.

He attacked another young man with a machete and then laughed about it in court, showing no remorse. He was a criminal.

So? A drug-taking criminal lost his life in a tragic accident, yet he deserves to be vilified?
I started to read one thread about him here shortly after he went missing. It was before the Gofundme furore & conspiracy theories peaked. It was horrible, so many posters slagging off this lad & his 'scumbag' family, yet there was so much concern, hope, love, prayer & ultimately sadness over MM's disappearance & death. I was a bit shocked by the turn that thread had taken. It was despicable.

Calm down!

Err, cheers, but I don't have to? Last time I checked this was a discussion board?

Yes. Feeling sorry for his family.

I know the area and it is very challenging terrain without adding on the additional challenges that come with extreme heat and being ill equipped.

I'm sure the trolls and piss takers will soon find another tragic event to latch onto.

@CandiedPrincess yes you do....speculation such as yours gets deleted

You keep going and see

Let's hope! So many weirdos out there 👀

Someone has lost their loved one, please keep it kind and respectful.

I saw a few posts saying he had SEN but haven't seen it anywhere reliable. Only that he tried to break into a car, a house, stole a car, then sped through residential areas at 70mph before getting caught and then laughing at the police.

No, not really. Tenerife isn't just a place to party - it's actually popular with experienced hill walkers and hikers because the mountainous terrain is vast and very challenging. There are many different walks and ravines. The search and rescue team simply didn't/couldn't cover it all.

Yes it is. Depending on how he fell, he could easily have fallen into dense undergrowth or hidden by a rock ledge, etc. The area in which he was found appears to be quite inaccessible and would be difficult for searchers to reach of her a good view.
And why exactly would the Civil Guard be involved? Surely they would want a person found as quickly as possible if only to stop speculation, wild conspiracy theories, the enormous cost of the search, the Press roaming all over the island, and help the family.

@gotmyknickersinatwist Exactly. He did his time for the attack and his own victim was saying stop stirring and find the poor lad.
He was running in bad circles and changed. He's working as a bricklayer, enjoying his first holiday abroad. I think he deserves just as much sympathy as Mosely as the situation was so similar. Nobody deserves to die like that. And it could happen to anyone, drug addled teen ex criminals or esteemed and renowned 60yo Doctors.

I wonder what the family will do with all the go fund money.

Good, at least they know

Oh, I'm terrified, my post might get deleted!
