The lifeless body of the 19-year-old British Jay Slater was found in such a steep area of Tenerife that it couldn’t be extracted on foot, requiring a helicopter to perform the task.
According to sources, the recovery of the cadaver utilized a helicopter from the Emergency and Rescue Group (GES) of the Canary Islands Government in a hard-to-reach location in the Masca area, in the municipality of Buenavista del Norte.
The professional rescuers from that unit coordinated with officers from the Civil Guard to efficiently hoist the body into the aircraft.
It is worth mentioning that the body’s location was identified by agents of the Mountain Response and Intervention Group (GREIM) of the Civil Guard from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, after nearly a month of continuous work in various ravines of the protected natural area of the Teno Massif.
For about twelve days, this work by GREIM professionals took place within a broad operation and in the presence of various media outlets.
However, over the last two and a half weeks, these tasks were carried out in a much more discreet manner, in harsh weather conditions and in an environment with very challenging terrain, including high ravines and cliffs.
Pending the preliminary autopsy report, the hypothesis initially considered by the investigators from the Judicial Police Unit (UOPJ) regarding Slater’s disappearance is now confirmed: that he had an accident or fell in a location near Masca.
According to a friend’s account, Lucy Law, Jay Slater travelled to Tenerife to attend an electronic music party, New Rave Generation (NRG), which took place at various locations in Tenerife.
Additionally, the night before his disappearance, Slater supposedly also visited one of the most well-known nightlife venues in the south of Tenerife, the Papagayo Beach Club, in the Verónicas area, in the municipality of Arona.
