Mother of Jay Slater thanks public for support, after his body found

The mother of Jay Slater has posted a new message on their GoFundMe page thanking the public for their support and condolences, following the news that body of the Lancashire teenager has been found.

The 19 year old from Oswaldtwistle went missing in Tenerife a month ago, after becoming lost after a music festival. His body was discovered on Monday in a mountainous area of the island, with injuries likely to have been suffered due to a fall.

Debbie Duncan praised the search team from the Netherlands, and also the LBT Global who have been assisting and supporting the family while out in Tenerife.

She said any remaining donations will go towards repatriating Jay's body home - and pay for funeral costs, Here's her post in full "Hello everyone, thank you for all of your kindness, support and condolences in light of the tragic news that Jay’s body has been found. We are overwhelmed with grief and are so grateful for your support.

The wonderful team from The Netherlands, Signi Zoekhondon, have remained in Spain all week and have continued to support us since Jay was found. They are due to fly home in the coming days and we are so appreciative of their dedication and support.

We would like to thank LBT Global for their support during this impossible time. We are working with agencies to arrange Jay's repatriation to the UK and the remaining funds, along with any future donations will be used to help with this if needed and to pay for Jay’s funeral costs back home. We want to give our boy the send-off he deserves so please do continue to share and support our fundraiser however you can."
