Jay Slater’s grieving mother has revealed that five unanswered questions about her son’s death in Tenerife are tormenting her family.
Jay, 19, was on holiday on the island with his friends when he went missing on the morning of June 17.
The apprentice bricklayer’s body and possessions were found in a ravine in the Rural de Teno National Park on July 15.
His heartbroken mother Debbie Duncan, who travelled to Tenerife to search for her missing son, said five unanswered questions continue to torment her a month after Jay’s body was found.

Speaking about her grief, Ms Duncan, 56, told The Sun: ‘I was encouraging him to go, saying you’re going to love it. I just kept saying, you know ”have your wits about you”.’
The mother added: ‘I can’t describe it. I can’t even describe the way I feel because I just wish he’d never gone.
‘Jay would not let his phone run down. If he had access to a phone charger, that would be the first thing that he would do. So that made me think well why did he not want to be there – why did he not want to hang about to charge his phone?’
It comes as Ms Duncan insisted her son did not steal a watch worth £12,000 before he vanished.
The mother slammed the internet trolls who came up with wild conspiracy theories including that Jay had stolen a Rolex watch from a gangster in Tenerife before he disappeared.

Shameless keyboard warriors even suggested the teenager had become embroiled with a drug cartel or hopped onboard a yacht to Morocco.
Ms Duncan told The Sun: ‘He would never have been involved in anything like that.
‘He had only been in Tenerife three days – and was at a festival with friends which had wristbands, security and an itinerary.
‘I’ve no idea where these drug stories have come from and the stuff about him stealing a watch is nonsense.’
