The body of a man which police believe could be missing Jay Slater has been found in Tenerife.

Spanish police say the human remains were located in the area where the teenager vanished last month.

A spokesman for the Civil Guard confirmed that "the lifeless body of the young man" was discovered in Rural de Teno national park.

The 19-year-old vanished in Tenerife on June 17 after he missed a bus and set off to walk back to his accommodation.

The Civil Guard said in a statement that he may have died due to an accidental fall.

Officers added that an autopsy will determine whether the death was an accident.

The apprentice bricklayer's phone was last traced to the Masca ravine in a remote, mountainous national park.
