The inquest into the death of teenager Jay Slater in Tenerife last summer is set to resume today. A number of witnesses who were with him on the Spanish island didn’t attend the inquest when it started at Preston Coroner’s Court in May.
The court heard they could not be traced or were unavailable, despite extensive efforts to get them to come as witnesses. Jay’s mum, Debbie Duncan, tearfully asked the coroner to adjourn as the family still had questions for the last people to see him alive.
Jay, 19, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, was holidaying in Tenerife and had been to the NRG music festival with friends in Playa de las Americas on June 16 last year. He was reported missing on June 18 last year. The apprentice bricklayer’s body was found on July 15 by Spain‘s Civil Guard.
