'Unlikely' missing Jay Slater will be found alive if he trekked into Tenerife mountains

Jay Slater is "unlikely" to be found alive if he got lost in Tenerife mountains, it has been reported. A major search is still ongoing for the 19-year-old apprentice bricklayer, who vanished last Monday on the Canary Island after attending a three-day rave.Spanish cops have vowed not to give up their major operation, which has included a scan of remote terrain, with helicopters and sniffer dogs deployed, The Mirror reports.Speaking on Day 11 of the search, a police spokesman said: "The Civil Guard is continuing to search for the young British man who disappeared, carrying out inspections of all the paths, trails and ravines belonging to the village of Masca within the municipality of Buenavista del Norte."On Wednesday, the force released footage showing officers moving on foot in a mountainous area of the island.A well-placed source told the Mirror: “No one at the moment is talking about the search being brought to an end, even though it’s very unlikely Jay has survived if he got lost in the mountains in the way we were told he did.“There will be a point when the operation that’s taking place at the moment has to at least be scaled back but right now the search teams appear to have decided they want to give themselves more time."Meanwhile, Jay's mum Debbie Duncan revealed today that some of the money donated via an online fundraiser would be plunged into the desperate mountain rescue search efforts.

The Get Jay Slater home GoFundMe appeal has rocketed past its original £30,000 by more than £8,000.In her own update on the page, heartbroken mother Debbie said: “We are currently working with GoFundMe to withdraw part of the funds, which are being safely held.
