A holiday with friends took a dark turn and ended in tragedy for teenager Jay Slater.
The 19-year-old never made it back home from the trip after attempting a treacherous 14-hour walk back to his villa following a drug and alcohol-fuelled night out.
He ended up falling 25 metres down a ravine in the mountains of the Spanish island of Tenerife, an inquest into his death has now heard.
But at the time, in summer last year, a major missing person investigation was launched, as the teenager had appeared to have just vanished. It marked the start of a nightmare ordeal for his family and friends.
Handout footage from the inquest into the death Mr Slater includes clips from his phone and from the search effort to find him in Tenerife.
