Exactly this. The events that led up to him doing that doesnt make sense though but no ones ever gonna find out when drugs, money and criminals are involved. No ones gonna own up to any of it.Correct outcome of the inquest, there’s no mystery here in regards to his actual death. He wondered off in the heat and fell down a ravine, that’s it. He wasn’t pushed, murdered or any other nonsense theory out there.
My OH came into my home office with an icy drink one very hot day to find me crying with laughter at my desk. I told him what I was laughing about and of course he told me I was awful so I had to explain the comedy was not in the sad disappearance but in the rapid fire discussion of the adjacent characters and shady activities.This thread at its busiest was comedy gold (despite the grim subject) I still chuckle to myself when random things pop into my head from it.![]()
More or less. He claims to have had residency in Vietnam for a year (it has not been a year, given how this time last year he hadn't even yet fannied over to Tenerife), but then goes on clandestine minibreaks over to Thailand every 30 days to (likely) reset his tourist visa. He briefly tried a rebrand where he claimed he was wearing traditional Vietnamese headgear every day because it was too much being accosted by curious locals because he's white (that stopped after a couple of days, he had/has not been seen wearing the headgear before or since).
Main activity is wandering round on live coining it in off bored (middle aged) women pretending he's very very lost and very very worried about in the city but he's usually wandering the same radius all the time which can be ascertained by the same skyscraper hotel being visible in the background.
Main point of interest was he glommed onto some random Vietnamese family (we don't know their names, they were just referred to as The Family, it's possible he didn't know their names). Then on his 30th birthday he got absolutely wankered and was yelling abuse at them and they were going to call the 'Vietnamarse' [sic] police on him and he posted this (subsequently deleted) and it seems The Family told him to Get Fucked.

It seemed abit odd but I was not surprised with how this story has gone. Off his tits running off with a kettle not the craziest thing I’ve read![]()
I didn’t realise it was auto corrected to kettle! Although it could be a new drug, anything seems possible with this case!!
I wonder if Debs will be speaking from her castle in ScotlandKeep everyone going for a bit

Jay Slater's mum gives heartbreaking update 15 months after his death
Yes; there was so much insanity going around about him that it didn't feel real. It made me reflect on my own posts on the threads, and am relieved (!) that they were pretty measured as it is very easy to get carried away. I was pretty convinced he would turn up after a few weeks, sunburned and hungover and laughing at all the fuss. He had the misfortune to go missing shortly after Dr Michael Moseley as well, which is like going missing after Jesus really: nobody is going to match up.Jay didn't deserve to die in these circumstances, to me this thread was always more about the absolute hysteria that blew up around his disappearance and some of the utterly unhinged takes from people on social media.
Of course there were valid questions about rhe GoFundMe etc but I do think it's fair the family want TikTok ghouls like DownTheRapids to stop farming likes off Jay's name, and I can't blame them for desperately taking pretend 'experts' at face value when they appear offering 'help'.
Just shared this knowledge with Mr Lars. He responded withSomeone called it a Jay Plater on facebook and it's got me in stitches![]()

yeah he's the best person to call, for sureDTR involved - like he was a help![]()
If he’d been wearing a nightie, maybe, but shorts? And the clothes were next to him, they said. If they’d been dragged off by raging cactuses they’d be stuck on the journey down surely?Could the fall have been so turbulent his body was shaken out of his clothes?I know I sound like someone suggesting an eagle scooped him up and flew off with him but I am seriously pondering.
I read that as car parks in Asda I needs an eye testThis has cracked me up!
