Jay Slater’s pal Lucy Mae Law shares eerie new celebration footage on eve of funeral

Chilling footage of Jay Slater partying in Ibiza has emerged ahead of the teenager’s funeral this weekend.

Shared by close friend, Lucy Mae Law, 19, the clip was posted to Instagram as a heartbreaking tribute to Jay who was found dead in Tenerife last month. Captioned “always dancing”, a shirtless Jay can be seen at a rave in the Spanish sun, the Mirror reports.

A lover of music, the 19-year-old was reported missing after friends became worried when he didn’t return from a night out whilst on holiday in Tenerife. Lucy herself initially raised the alarm, and set up a GoFundMe page to help search efforts.

After over a month of searching, Jay’s body was tragically discovered in mid-July. His death was declared an accident, according to a post mortem.

The cause of death was discovered to be severe head injuries sustained from falling from height. Experts maintain that the teen’s death would’ve been “instantaneous”.

The teenager’s body was returned to his hometown of Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, where he is set to be buried. Now, Lucy has joined the list of loved ones giving the trainee bricklayer a final send-off before he is laid to rest on August 10.

The funeral will take place at Accrington Cemetery Chapel from 10.30am. Jay’s family have asked attendees wear blue, in his honour.

Loved ones have also requested that only family flowers are brought to the funeral, according to The Mirror. Instead, grieving members of the public are asked to pay respects by bringing a single rose.

Mourners are also able to make donations to LBT Global, a charity offering overseas crisis support that played a part in helping the family of the deceased.

In a tribute to Jay, his family shared: “A loving son of Debbie and Warren, a cherished brother of Zak and brother-in-law of Jessica, a treasured grandson of Dawn, June and the late Dougie, a much-loved nephew of Glen and Katie, a dear cousin of Maddie and Tillie and a loyal friend to many. Jay will be very sadly missed by all those who knew him.

“After Jay left Rhyddings High School he went on to become an apprentice bricklayer with the PH Build group, a job he greatly enjoyed. At the young age of five Jay started playing football for Huncoat United FC until the age of 17 and also did a few seasons with the Sunday team at St Joesph’s too.

“He also loved spending time chilling out with his friends. Jay’s love of music and dance started at a very young age. He loved attending music festivals and events across the country and also loved to socialise and meet new people.”

Despite his status as one of the most public missing person’s cases this year, loved ones such as Lucy are remembering Jay as he they knew him: a normal teenager and music-lover.
