  1. Pray for the students of Bangladesh. The condition of the students in this country has become dire. If you can, you can promote this movement on your channel to stand by the students. Please cooperate😢😢😢🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

  2. I don’t care what anybody says. U are not walking back 10 hours to your hotel. He wanted to leave that place in a hurry. It doesn’t add up

  3. He was put there if the dogs didn’t smell him when they was searching an he was found where his phone last pinged cmon don’t take bull he was murdered

  4. If you are capable of doing so, spare a thought for those grieving for him before posting an unintelligent comment devoid of compassion for those who loved him. Seeing strangers discussing the death of a loved one is really difficult. I know, because I've experienced it.

  5. He was running/escaping from something. Even off your nut youd follow the road at least. Yet he was never seen again after the Airbnb owner saw him? Means he left the road pretty quickly; walking is an odd choice as it is but leaving the road into “hard to reach terrain” almost immediately after setting off makes no sense even if you’re absolutely pinging.

  6. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎼🎤Don't leave me highhhhhhh, don't leave me dryyyyyyyyyyyy🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎼🤐🤪

  7. Hind rajab was a 6 year old girl trapped in a car for three days surrounded by her murdered family members. She was shot 350 times by a tank machine gun in Gaza.
    180,000 civilians have been brutally murdered in the most documented genocide in history. Yet the media reports more of some criminal who went missing in Spain.

  8. Masca is a popular place to hike illegally on top of amazing hydraulic infrastructure (partial underground water channels) on cliffs. This is prohibited but at this point we know nothing whatsoever about this casualty, however, as a local who knows the area, Teno and in particular masca area, is quite arte to those who want to post something risky and exacting. It is very strange to find someone in this area walking alone simply because this area is full of cliffs and rock falls and other hazards are a risk

  9. This whole case doesn’t make sense it’s just so random why would he just go in the middle of nowhere and why didn’t they smell his body? Even the sniffer dogs couldn’t

  10. He's been found quite far down the ravine it appears, where the terrain turns from thick brush to rock.
    I know a hiker who has hiked in many places around the world since he was 12. This ravine was the first time he'd had a dangerous fall. Luckily he was pulled to safety.
    I think that if Jay had made it down to the water, he would have been both disappointed and stuck. You need proper footwear, equipment and ropes.
    I suspect that by the time he'd made it down that far, daylight may have already started to fade. This would have left him in low light, in a dark ravine, surrounded by dark rocks.
    In this terrain, one easy climb down can leave you with one difficult climb back up. He may have gone to far to be able to climb back up.
    I doubt this is a dumped body if it is that far down the ravine.
    Their are a million places far more accessible, and would be far easier to dump a body than this.

  11. Jay Slater's actions are what doesn't make sense – if he was still off his head then it's understandable – if he feared going back was a) someone after him; B) off his head and hallucinations.
