Missing Friends, Mysterious Death: Tenerife Inquest Unravels Tragic Story

A 19-year-old man, Jay Slater, died in Tenerife, Spain, under mysterious circumstances. An inquest revealed that his two best friends have disappeared and haven't given statements to police. The friends were last seen together at the NRG Festival in June. A month later, Slater's body was discovered near the village of Masca. Senior coroner Dr. James Adeley commented on the lack of cooperation from witnesses when drugs are involved in death investigations. One friend, Lucy Law, had initially cooperated, stating that Slater had contacted her, saying he was lost. However, she is now also missing. Traces of MDMA were found in Slater's system. The case highlights the challenges faced by authorities when investigating deaths involving drug use and uncooperative witnesses. The ongoing search for Slater's friends underscores the complexities of this tragic event.
