In a statement, authorities said his death was caused by "trauma" from a fall in a "rocky area". On Monday, 15 July, after an intense search operation, police found the body along with personal items believed to belong to Jay.The subsequent autopsy has sadly confirmed the worst fears of his family and a statement has been released.The High Court of Justice of the Canary Islands said in a statement: "We have a positive identification and more data: fingerprint tests show that the body is [that] of Jay Slater and that the death was caused by trauma consistent with a fall in a rocky area."
