Gerallt has vanished on the same island where Jay Slater went missing last summer, sparking a huge search effort.

Mr Slater, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, and friends had been to the NRG music festival at the Papagayo nightclub in the resort of Playa de las Americas on June 16 last year.

He left to go to an Airbnb flat near Masca in the early hours of the next morning, before setting off on the long walk back.

A coroner concluded at an inquest into his death today that the teenager died by accident after falling down a ravine.

The 19-year-old was attempting a 14-hour walk back to his accommodation from a night out drinking and taking drugs, Preston Coroner’s Court heard.
