Remains found in Tenerife thought to be of missing British teen | ABS-CBN News

A Spanish mountain rescue team in Tenerife found human remains in the area where British teenager Jay Slater went missing nearly a month ago, police said on Monday, adding evidence strongly suggested the remains were his.
Guardia Civil handout showed rescue workers during the search in the Masca ravine.
The Guardia Civil police said in a statement that he may have died due to a fall in the difficult-to-access mountainous area, but that an autopsy would confirm whether it was an accident.
A police spokesperson told Reuters by phone that the body was found on Monday morning by a Civil Guard mountain rescue group. The family has been notified and an autopsy will take place shortly, with the case then being transferred to a Tenerife court to determine the cause of death, the spokesperson said.
Slater, 19, went missing on June 17 and his phone was last traced to the Masca ravine in a remote national park on the Canary Islands archipelago.
On June 30, Spanish police said they had ended a search for Slater that had involved dozens of officers, rescue workers and volunteers using dogs, drones and a helicopter.
However, on Monday they said Guardia Civil officers had maintained a "continuous and discrete search" in the area for the whole 29 days. - Report from Reuters
