According to news reports, a search team found an unidentified body on Monday morning in an inaccessible part of the island in the Masca area.
Spanish police believe the individual may have fallen down a chasm.
A post-mortem examination is yet to be carried out, but according to media reports, overseas missing charity LBT Global said the body was found with the teen’s possessions and near his mobile phone’s last known location.
Slater went missing on the largest of the Canary Islands on the morning of 17 June after attending a music festival with friends.
The 19-year-old had left with two men he met at the festival.
In the morning, he called a friend saying he had missed his bus back to his accommodation and was attempting a 10-hour walk back, informing her he had no water, was lost, and that his mobile phone battery was on 1%.
