Heartless trolls have joked that the human remains found at Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge belong to missing teen Jay Slater.
It seems there is no end to the cruelty of internet trolls, in particular those hurling their abusive, harrowing bullying at the family and friends of Jay Slater, the 19-year-old who disappeared without a trace three weeks on the Tenerife.
Although Spanish authorities called off their search for the missing lad from Lancashire, their investigations remain open, and Jay’s family continue to scour the Spanish island’s rugged mountainside in a desperate search to find the teen.
The massive search for the apprentice teenager began shortly after he was reported missing on Monday, June 17, and trolls were quick to target Jay’s friends, family and those searching for him with abuse and false claims.

Taking it even further, the plague of internet trolls have now quipped that Jay’s remains are those that were found in two suitcases on Thursday, July 11, in Bristol.
Police were called to the Bristol bridge following reports of a man acting suspiciously on 11.57 on Wednesday, July 10. They arrived only 10 minutes later, by which time the man had gone, leaving a suitcase behind. A second suitcase was found nearby shortly after.
Police launched a manhunt following their horror discovery. Now a man, 24, has been arrested in connection to the grim find. More remains have been found in a flat in London.
While the remains are yet to be formally identified, it hasn’t stopped trolls taking to X to comment on the grizzly incident, making vile jokes.

One person quipped “Do any of the suitcases have Ryanair TFS labels on them? Asking for a friend. #JaySlater #suitcase”.
Another person bizarrely asked: “What if one of the geezers in the suitcase at Clifton suspension bridge is Jay Slater”?
Another person commented: “So did that Jay Slater just turn up in a suitcase by Bristol suspension bridge or?”

Another troll asked: “Was there an arm, with an AP watch in the suitcase by any chance?”
