Jay Slater: Bar apologises for Facebook post mocking missing teen

“I can’t stress enough nobody within the pub company has posted this status, some of whom are receiving threatening messages which is completely unacceptable.”

It said the company recognised the “damage was done” but had sent the money to the crowdfunding page to help Mr Slater’s family.

Affordable Social said it was “deeply distressed” by the post and added that it had been removed within minutes.

Mr Slater has not been seen or heard from since the morning of 17 June, when he called friends to say he was lost in a mountainous area in northern Tenerife.

On Sunday, the Spanish police said the official search had ended, although an investigation into Mr Slater’s disappearance was continuing.

Rachel Hargreaves, the mother of Mr Slater’s best friend Brad Hargreaves, is on the island supporting his mother Debbie Duncan.

On Sunday she said the family were planning to carry on the search and were seeking volunteers to help.

They have no intention of leaving, she said.
