THE inquest into Jay Slater’s death is set to resume today – two months after the initial hearing left his mum begging for answers.
Heartbroken Debbie Duncan pleaded with the coroner to summon crucial witnesses to the stand – including the teen’s two best friends and the last person to see him alive.

The 19-year-old’s body was found in a ravine in the remote Rural de Teno National Park last July after an agonising 29-day search.
Apprentice bricklayer Jay flew to the Spanish island last June to attend the NRG music festival in Playa de las Americas with two friends, Lucy Law and Brad Hargreaves.
After a night of partying on June 17, the teen travelled to an Airbnb apartment in Masca with two men – including convicted drug dealer Ayub Qassim.
Jay, of Oswaldtwistle, Lancs, phoned up Brad after he left the Airbnb at around 8am and attempted to make the near-impossible walk to his holiday apartment in sweltering heat.
The Brit would also make a heartbreaking final call to Lucy saying he had cut his leg, was lost, dehydrated and had just one per cent battery on his phone.
Neither Lucy, Brad or Qassim attended the first inquest hearing back in May.
Jay’s dad Warren told the court they needed those “who can put some light on whatever happened to Jay” to help so the family can finally uncover the truth.
