The body of the 19-year-old is expected to be brought back to the UK by early next week, according to a spokesperson. In an emotional scene this week, Jay's relatives laid heartfelt tributes along the dusty path close to the perilous gorge where he was found.

Family tributes to Jay Slater

• Debbie left a tear-jerking message with the flowers: "To my beautiful boy, I am so sorry we never found you. I miss you so much. You will be forever young and forever missed. Mum *advertiser censored*."
• Zak, Jay's elder brother, penned a moving tribute: "Love you little bro, never in a million years did I think I would be saying this."
• "I will look after mum and dad, hope you are partying up there with grandad, hope to see you again some day, rest easy bro I love you Zak."
• Warren, his father, simply wrote: "To my boy, love dad."

I fail to see how littering an area of exceptional national beauty is supposed to be a good thing but that's just me.

Ditto the mountains of cut flowers in plastic wrappers that get piled up at the scene of accidents. Surely there's got to be a nicer way to mark the scene of a fatality and someone's life / passing, generally speaking, than cheap tatt, plastic, littering, and fire hazards?

I understand what you’re saying but if his family have laid these in memory of Jay, please just let them. If this is part of their grieving process, then that’s for them to do. They’re going through an incredibly hard time and the least of their worries should be about “leaving tatt”. They want to remember their boy.

Whilst it's not something I'd do I can't bring myself to criticise a family who've been through an horrendous month and are expressing their grief as they know how

But, as you say, that's just me

Completely agree.
I also hate it when people release balloons. There's ways of remembering someone without ruining the environment and harming animals.

In the moments ,days and weeks that follow a death and one where a life is cut so short in such tragedy, the mind is not thinking of being environmentally friendly .we are not present ,our mind is in a dark place ,full of sadness and pain ,we can barely function with day to day tasks a token of compassion is normally afforded to families going through such hard emotional grief by grounds keepers and people who help preserve the land , while I would in normal circumstances abhor littering ,this can be cleaned up discretely later and to describe a grieving families tokens of love to their son as tatt on a public forum is slightly insensitive tbh

He was going the wrong way?

What really saddens me about this case is of course Jay's untimely death but a number of other things both jay and ayub have had their private lives past and present exposed in msm for clicks , stuff that should have remained private especially regarding ayub I for one was guilty of massive speculation regarding ayub's involvement conclusions based on msm articles this should not have happened ,secondly the judgement and absolute vitriol aimed at Jay's family ,A phrase that is often used in my country is' don't judge until you have walked a day in the other person's shoes " hopefully I will never have to even try them on

He was going the wrong way?

He certainly wasn't heading down any supposed directional route to Los Cristianos but it's been mooted that he could see the sea and was headed down to the closest beach, in the hope that he could follow the coast round to LC. He was actually on 'a' correct route to that beach, directionally - a very small, secluded beach which wouldn't have helped him much anyway - but certainly 'the wrong way' from the safety point of view.

 

[suzyjackson]

He was going the wrong way?

We don't know where he thought he was going so I don't think anyone will ever know for sure, sadly it wasn't a safe route to anywhere

I am devastated for Jay's family, in particular his mother. I can't fathom what she is going through. I suspect she will crash hard when the funeral is over and she's had time to process what all has happened. When it hits her that Jay is gone, I think she will struggle tremendously.

“Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain,to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish.

Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears.

Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless.

Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human

~ Henri Nouwen

He was going the wrong way?

So it seems.
Here is a description of the Juan López trail:

https://www.alltrails.com/explore/recording/afternoon-hike-at-tf-436-barranco-de-juan-lopez-playa-de-juan-lopez-ac1dd20

... this is not a trail for everyone. It’s a wild, unmarked, and unmaintained path, requiring constant use of GPS, although there are some rock towers placed by previous hikers that help with navigation. The route is challenging with steep and potentially vertigo-inducing sections, but doable for experienced hikers with a good fitness level. Wear sturdy hiking shoes and carry at least two to two-and-a-half liters of water. ... There is an unofficial parking spot at the trailhead for one or two cars.

To get back to his hotel, Jay would have had to walk all the way back (from the beach) the same way he had come.

While the authorities in the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands will likely hold their own process, an inquest led by a coroner is still expected to be held once he has been repatriated back home. A coroner in Jay's native Lancashire, based in Preston, will be tasked with conducting the hearing.

Lancs Live reports that inquests in Lancashire are held in one of several locations, usually closest to where the person lived, such as Accrington Town Hall or Preston Coroner's Court.

The coroner in Lancashire will be informed of a body in the jurisdiction when Jay is brought home from Tenerife - as was the case with Andrew 'Ed' Walch from Preston who died in the Canary Islands in 2021.

I can understand why they won’t reveal the location to the press but why not the family I wonder? If it will give them peace of mind and transparency, I can’t see why not.
