A Spanish court said said Jay had multiple injuries that were consistent with a fall in a rocky area
Jay Slater's body is believed to have been discovered in what locals say is a 'rugged and dangerous' ravine - barely a mile from where his phone last pinged a nearby mobile phone tower.
It took reporter Adam Aspinall and a photographer more than an hour to just get to the edge of the ravine. Adam said: "Rocky and hard-going underfoot it was a strenuous hike and all too easy to see how a young man, disoriented and far from home, could easily get into trouble."READ MORE: Jay Slater: Body found in Tenerife identified as missing teenager after tragic fall
The extensive police search in the mountains near Masca had been called off around two weeks after Jay vanished on June 17, but mountain rescue police specialists had continued with a more discreet smaller search on a daily basis. Mr Slater had attended the NRG music festival with two friends before his disappearance, and his last known location was the Rural de Teno Park in the north of the Canary Island, which was about an 11-hour walk from his accommodation.
