The Guardia statement said: “The Guardia Civil mountain rescue and intervention unit has found, after 29 days of non-stop searching, the body of a young man in the Masca area.”
“Given the difficulties of the case, the discovery has been possible thanks to the constant and discreet search carried out by the Guardia Civil for the last 29 days during which care was taken to ensure curious onlookers did not fill the area.”
“All the evidence suggests, with full identification still pending, that this is the young British man who disappeared on 17 June,” the statement concluded.
The 19-year-old had been missing for over almost a month after he vanished while on holiday in Tenerife with his two friends, Lucy Mae Law and Brad Hargreaves.
The apprentice bricklayer from Oswaltwhistle, Lancashire headed back to an Airbnb ours away from his holiday apartment after a night of partying on June 16 with two ‘new friends’.
He was reported missing by Lucy hours after he left the rented home in Masca as he embarked on a tricky 11-hour trek through rough and rocky terrain.
The Guardia Civil deployed a large search party in the hope of finding Jay as his family and friends all flew out to Tenerife to look for him.
Numerous and outlandish conspiracy theories pumped out by social media included the suggestion that Jay had been kidnapped, but the reality appears at the moment that he simply suffered a tragic accident.
