Jay Slater inquest LIVE updates as details heard on teen's death in Tenerife

An inquest into the death of Jay Slater will take place today, with new details set to be given in court.

The 19-year-old was tragically found dead in a ravine in Rural Parc de Teno, in Tenerife, on July 15 last year.

The apprentice bricklayer from Oswaldtwistle, east Lancashire, had attended the NRG music festival in Playa de las Americas.

He travelled to an Airbnb in the remote Masca village in north-west Tenerife in the early hours of June 17, following an NRG event.

Jay then left the property, with the teenager intending to walk to the apartment his friends were staying in at Los Cristianos.

The month-long search for Jay sparked major media attention from the UK, Lancs Live reports.

He was eventually found in the Juan Lopez ravine, north of Masca, close to where his phone last pinged.

A post-mortem examination concluded he died of traumatic head injuries, consistent with a fall from height.

As Jay's body was returned to Lancashire for his funeral, Lancashire's Senior Coroner Dr James Adeley opened an inquest.

The final hearing is taking place today (May 21).
