The body 'does look to be that of Jay Slater' says LBT Global, a British overseas missing persons charity which has been working with the Slater family.
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 said. The body 'does look to be that of Jay Slater' said LBT Global, a British overseas missing persons charity which has been working with the Slater family.
'We are awaiting the results of the autopsy.' Police commentator Graham Wettone said the geography of the area where Jay Slater went missing made the search much harder. 'Clearly the terrain is exceptionally difficult to navigate, but especially to search thoroughly and properly with the resources, the equipment, and tactics they were using,' he said.
