British Teenager Found Dead in Tenerife; Inquest Reveals Drug Use and Injuries Tenerife, Canary Islands – A 19-year-old British teenager, Jay Slater, was found dead in Tenerife under tragic circumstances. An inquest into his death revealed the presence of cocaine, ecstasy, and ketamine in his system, alongside severe skull and pelvic fractures. The injuries are consistent with a fall from a height. Slater had been reported missing in June of the previous year after a night out. He had embarked on a 10-hour walk from his accommodation, a journey that tragically ended in his death. The inquest also highlighted the failure of Slater's friends to cooperate fully with the investigation, refusing to provide statements. "The injuries sustained were consistent with a fall from a significant height," stated a coroner involved in the inquest. The lack of cooperation from Slater's peers hindered the investigation, leaving unanswered questions about the events leading up to his death. The case underscores the dangers of drug use and the importance of responsible behavior when traveling abroad. The family of Jay Slater has expressed their grief and appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
