Jay Slater's body was found in a ravine near Masca on July 15
Alone and in the middle of nowhere, British teenager Jay Slater met his tragic end. After losing contact with his friend while in the mountainous landscape of Masca, on the morning of June 17, he disappeared without a trace.
Today , away from the main road leading further north from the village of Masca, tributes had been left by Jay's family. They were a stone's throw from the remote remote ravine where rescue workers were forced to hack away at undergrowth with machetes to reach their beloved son. Then, four weeks later, the lifeless body of a man was found by search crews. Specialist mountain teams and police drafted in a helicopter to retrieve the remains, which were found down in a steep ravine surrounded by mountains and undergrowth. Police described the area as 'rough and inaccessible.'
After spending a few hours at the holiday cottage, with two British men who were swiftly ruled out of enquiries, Jay then walked uphill towards a view point near to where his mobile phone location was picked up.
