Search teams looking for missing British teenager Jay Slater in Tenerife have found a body, police say.

The Guardia Civil said its officers and a mountain rescue unit found the body of a young man in the Masca area.

Mr Slater, 19, was last seen on 17 June, after visiting an Airbnb rented by two people he had been with at a music festival on the island.

A police statement said that “initial evidence” suggested the person found had “suffered an accident/fall in the inaccessible zone”.

While not naming Oswaldtwistle apprentice bricklayer Mr Slater directly, the statement said that “all the evidence” suggests the remains found were those of “the young British man who disappeared 29 days ago.”

Full identification of the body is yet to be carried out, it added.

The search for Mr Slater since his disappearance has involved his family, friends, police and specialist mountain rescue teams as well as volunteers from several countries.

But on 30 June, the Guardia Civil said it was calling off its search for Mr Slater.

His family continued to look for him, most recently with the help of a group of Dutch mountain rescuers.

The Guardia Civil indicated in its statement that it was members of its Mountain Rescue and Intervention Group who located the “lifeless body” of a young man.

The force has not said when the body was found, or exactly where it was discovered.
