LONDON (Reuters) -British teenager Jay Slater, who was found dead on the Spanish island of Tenerife last year, died accidentally from a fall, a coroner concluded on Friday, according to British media reports.

Slater, who was 19, went missing in June last year after partying with friends and attempting a long walk back to his accommodation, before falling to his death in a remote national park on the Canary Islands archipelago.

His body was found the following month, with Spanish authorities saying the injuries Slater sustained were consistent with an accidental fall.

After an inquest at Preston Coroner’s Court, the coroner James Adeley concluded that Slater “died an accidental death,” having fallen from a height of up to 25 metres (82 feet), the BBC reported.
