Jay Slaters' heartbroken family prepare to fly home after leaving tributes near where body was found







The body recovered near the spot where Jay Slater went missing was “very deteriorated” and it is unlikely full identification will happen until “next week", Tenerife officials have said.



In a devastating admission, authorities also revealed documentation the dead man was carrying was the teenager’s, and everything is pointing to an accidental fall.

A court in the town of Icod de los Vinos which covers the area of Masca where the body was found is in charge of the ongoing investigation.

In their first comments so far since the grim police discovery yesterday officials representing the female investigating judge said: “In reference to the British citizen Jay Slater, the autopsy with the full identification of the body and the causes of death will take time, because the body was very deteriorated.

“But there is very little doubt about both the identity and the etiology. The documentation he was carrying corresponds to that of Jay Slater and everything is pointing to an accidental fall, although that is unofficial pending the final reports.”

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity as is normal in Spain, said: “The court is saying the official identification will not be known until next week.”

The 29-day search for apprentice bricklayer Jay, 19, came to an end around 10am. A helicopter was called in to recover a body. The large-scale police search in the mountains near Masca had been suspended around two weeks after he disappeared on 17 June, but mountain rescue police specialists had continued with a smaller search on a daily basis.






The remains were found in the treacherous Masca village
