Jay Slater’s mother, Debbie Duncan, says she experienced shock after accidentally seeing photographs of her son’s body while returning to Tenerife. Reports state she had travelled to retrace Jay’s final steps in connection with a new documentary project.
Both outlets describe the moment as one of personal trauma, but they differ slightly in framing and emphasis. The Daily Express focuses on Duncan’s reaction—saying she was “in horror”—and ties her trip to retracing her son’s last movements. The Daily Record (Scotland) similarly describes her “horror,” adding that the images were discovered unintentionally as she continued tracing the story on the island.
Across the accounts, the central points are that Duncan revisits Tenerife after Jay’s death, and during that process she comes across photographs of Jay’s body by accident, prompting a strong emotional response. Neither source provides additional forensic or investigative details beyond this account of her experience.
