The coroner will be informed of a body in the jurisdiction when Jay is repatriated home
While the authorities in Tenerife can hold their own coronial proceedings the coroner in Lancashire, based in Preston, will be tasked with conducting an inquest once the 19-year-old's body is repatriated back to the UK. Inquests in Lancashire are held in one of several locations, usually closest to where the person lived, such as accrington-town-hall>Accrington Town Hall or Preston Coroner's Court.
Under coronial law if a body is returned to the UK the coroner's jurisdiction arises when the coroner is made aware of the presence of a body in their jurisdiction with reasonable grounds to suspect they died and unnatural death such as an accident.
