A Civil Guard spokesman said no information would currently be released on exactly where the body was found.

The autopsy is expected to take place in the next couple of days in the northern Tenerife city of La Laguna.

A force spokesman said: “The human remains were found some two hours before we went public with the information they had been found, so around 10am local time.

“The large-scale operation involving multiple units had been suspended but as we always said, we never stopped looking for Jay.

“The mountain rescue group continued looking for the missing man when they were on duty and have now found the remains of a person they believe is him.”

Asked whether the force was in a position to say exactly where the human remains had been found, he said: “In the area near Masca is all I can say at the moment.”

He added: “We’ve always said the terrain is a very difficult terrain and the search was complicated.”
