In an update on X, formerly Twitter, the expert wrote: Human remains found and all indications are that it is Jay Slater.
“The first investigations reveal that he could have suffered an accident fall in the inaccessible area.
“Family have been updated and formal identification will follow.”
Earlier this afternoon, Lancashire Police released an update as Jay’s heartbroken family wait for an official cause of death after a gruelling four-week search.
A statement read: “We have today (Monday, July 15th) been notified by the Guardia Civil that they have found the body of a man and that the indications are that this is Jay Slater.
“While at this stage no formal identification has been carried out our thoughts are very much with Jay’s family at this time, and we continue to offer them our support.”
