Human remains found in search for Jay Slater

[davegrohll]

No more in information as of yet. His poor family

Yes.

Search and rescue teams are in most places where there are hikers and trekkers.
Tenerife isn't an ''Easy'' place for trekking, and search and rescue can be used to help others who may need search and rescue.

There are lots of mountain and fell rescues in UK too.

He wasn't reformed, either. He continued to steal, etc...Not a nice guy. Sad for his family though.

Oh come on. Many, many young people (most perhaps) try drugs at some point. No need to be all holier than thou. Who knows, maybe even your children will try/have tried drugs.

Maybe not, but the money has to go somewhere- it's can't be resting in Debbie's account until the year 3000 so best place for it imo is either back in the hands of the donators or a decent charity.

It's very clear that the reaction is different.

But the essentials are the same. Brit on holiday makes decisions that lead to a fatal incident in hostile terrain.

Probably both will be held to be misadventure (or whatever the parallel term is in those jurisdictions)

He didn't. He was a background figure who got a lesser sentence than the person who was wielding a machete. Obviously he had unpleasant friends at one point but I get tired of people saying he cracked someones head open with a machete. He didn't.

The Netherlands? They know the terrain better than the Tenerife folk I guess!

Probably be used to fly the body home then a big hero's funeral

What do you think, honestly? This sadly happens more often than you think and will happen again.

The family know now how horrible it is to have a family member missing and not be found for such a long time. Now they have the means to help future missing people.

@SallyWD most kids don't cave other kids skulls in and steal Rolexes though. He wasn't just a kid who had a dabble with some turbo talc

I hope it wasn't a prolonged death. I hope, like MM, he likely became unconcious and wasn't aware of anything. It sounds like the Civil Guard must have been still looking for him, despite the search being officially called off 30 June.

Agree with this.

So has it been confirmed all the very many news reports about Jay not being one of the ones who physically attacked the lad are wrong?

And was it confirmed he stole a Rolex? I thought that was one of the conspiracy theories.

Funerals are expensive.

Ah. I thought you meant this search, which appears to be over.

It wasn’t clear the poster meant other search missions.

It won’t because conspiracy theorists are some of the thickest, most ignorant people alive.

he was a kid on his first holiday and had people around him who werent looking out for him generally,

Should someone have gone with him in the car then?

I donate to the London Air Ambulance even though I've never needed an Air ambulance.

Well he's gone now. Let his mum have his body returned for burial. Everything else is irrelevant, he's paid the ultimate price.

I thought it was pretty clear I meant generally, what with me saying "generally" an all.

Also rest of my post - the bit you left off your c&p, makes it clear what I meant - "no wonder he had a bit of a questionable past (as did the lad who was attacked by the gang Jay was with)."

Edited to add the rest of my post that was accidentally not included in the c&p that make it clear I meant, err, generally, even if the word "generally" didn't make that clear.

It wasn't his first holiday. The family had lots of connections in Tenerife and spent a lot of time there.

A teen on his first holiday doesn't end up in La Masca alone.

Yea tbh I should have said first holiday with friends, my bad.

I've already seen comments along those lines on FB. Absolutely disgusting. A young man has lost his life and people have been making stuff up from the start! He's clearly been under the influence and lost his bearings as everyone who was actually involved said in the beginning, he was a teenager and made a wrong decision as we all did at some point at that age.

At least there is closure, the not knowing would be far worse.
