Jay Slater's Last Unsent Snapchat Message Before His Tragic Death

A Channel 4 documentary unveils new insights into Jay Slater's death, highlighting previously unheard audio and unseen footage from the Tenerife search and investigation.

  • Jay Slater, a 19-year-old from Oswaldtwistle, went missing on June 17, 2024, while holidaying with friends in Tenerife.
  • He disappeared after being taken by two men he met during his trip to a rental property located about 22 miles away in the mountainous area, then attempted a dangerous journey back to his lodging in Los Cristianos.
  • Jay fell approximately 80 feet into a remote ravine, where mountain rescue teams found his body near the village of Masca on July 15 after a lengthy search operation.
  • Among Jay’s final communications was a distressing emergency call to his close friend Lucy Law, who urgently contacted the police expressing that Jay had said he feared he would not survive the situation he was in. Additionally, an unsent Snapchat message addressed to Brad revealed Jay’s grim acknowledgment that he didn’t expect to come through safely.
  • The coroner ruled Jay's death accidental in July, toxicology showed drugs and alcohol in his system, and a Channel 4 documentary airing September 28 details his family's search amid widespread online speculation.
