Jay Slater trolls selling merchandise after body found in Tenerife | World | News

Vile trolls are selling Jay Slater merchandise just hours after his body was found in Tenerife.

Products such as mugs and stickers are being sold online featuring warped photos and memes of Jay.

The 19-year-old was missing in Tenerife for nearly a month since 17 – before his body was found yesterday in a “very inaccessible area” of Masca in the Tenerife mountains.

Merchandise includes mugs on Ebay from £7 and stickers on Etsy from £2.39. Both stores appear to be sold by the same person, going by the name of Elliot, in Birmingham.

Reps for Ebay told the Sun they were “looking into the seller” and shortly afterwards the seller’s pages were removed. The product pages were still up on Etsy at the time of publication.

Jay’s mum Debbie Duncan, 55, said confirmation of Jay’s death after a gruelling four-week search was the “worst news”.

She added: “I just can’t believe this could happen to my beautiful boy. Our hearts are broken.”

A source close to the family previously said: “It’s the news they have been dreading. She has lots of questions. It hasn’t completely sunk in yet. 

“The hardest thing for her is to hear he was found so close to the original search site. It’s hard to take. It means it’s entirely possible they have walked past his body whilst searching for him.”

Spanish police said evidence suggested Jay had “suffered an accident or fall” with Jay’s family believing the teen was killed instantly.

The body, found with Jay’s clothes and belongings and close to where his mobile phone last pinged, was formally identified as the teenager’s on Tuesday.

The family are hoping they can bring his body back to the UK in the next week or so and a postmortem will be held both in Tenerife and back home.
