Missing Friends Hinder Inquest into British Tourist's Death in Tenerife

A 19-year-old British tourist, Jay Slater, tragically died during a holiday in Tenerife last June. His body was discovered a month later at the bottom of a ravine in a remote national park. An inquest into his death is currently underway. Adding to the mystery surrounding Slater's death, police have confirmed that they have been unable to locate his friends who were traveling with him at the time of his disappearance. Despite extensive efforts, the friends remain missing and have not been located to provide testimony at the inquest. "Friends who were in Tenerife with Jay Slater when he disappeared could not be located to take part in his inquest despite police efforts to find them," a police spokesperson stated. The ongoing search for these witnesses underscores the complexities of the case and the determination of authorities to uncover the full circumstances of Slater's death. The inquest is expected to continue, with hopes that further investigation will shed light on this tragic event.
