A BODY has tragically been found in the hunt for missing British teenager Jay Slater after a gruelling four week search.
Cops fear the 19-year-old may have accidentally fallen to his death while walking in a remote area of Tenerife.
Apprentice bricklayer Jay vanished on the morning of June 17 after going to a rave the night before with friends - sparking a huge effort to find the Lancashire teen.
Spanish cops axed the official search less than two weeks in - but have today announced a body has been found in the area Jay was last known to be, Masca.
A spokesman for the Civil Guard said today: “After 29 constant days of searching the lifeless body of the young man has been found in the Masca area.
"The discovery has been possible thanks to the tireless and discreet search carried out by the Civil Guard over these 29 days.
"Everything is pointing to the body being that of the young British man who disappeared on June 17, pending full identification.
"Initial inquiries are pointing to him having suffered an accident/fall in the area where he was found.”
It is understood the body was found close to where his mobile phone last pinged - with Jay's belongings and clothes.
Jay's distraught family have been updated and a formal investigation by police is set to follow.
