The next morning Mr. Joggan said that he received a video call from Mr. Slater, which was running with a road and still “under influence”, heard by interrogation.

Mr. Joggan said: “I said that you ask your map to see how far you were. It was like a 14 -hour walk or an hour -long drive.

“I said, ‘Go back a taxi’, then he just goes, ‘I will ring you back’.”

The witness said that he did not think his friend had any money on him, and the taxis in Tannerif insisted on payment before taking the rent.

Coroner Dr. James Adle asked the witness: “Did you realize that he was threatened or frightened in any way, or under Duras in a difficult situation?”

Mr. Joggan replied: “No, I think he may have reached there and thought, ‘Why am I here?’, Decided to absorb and come back.”

Mr. Slater disappeared in the morning after visiting AirBNB and on June 18, the Spanish police were reported to have disappeared.

The evidence heard during interrogation suggested that he had quit the holiday, and after failing to receive a bus or taxi, tried to walk back to his own apartment and fell into a ravine from a height.

CH Inspector Rachel Higson, the details of Lancashire Constabulary, said that the police had analyzed the phone data of Mr. Slater.

At night, he received a phone message from friends that he was asking him to go home because he was “away from his head”.

The statements of Spanish witnesses stated that they were contacted and were asked by Mr. Slater about buses or taxis to take her home.

More messages from friends warned him about the “boiling” heat of the day, but the activity data on his phone closed at 08:51, suggesting that his phone’s battery had died.

Giving evidence through the videoolink, Mr. Kasim told the hearing: “I said, ‘Brother, Oh friend, it is far away from the strip’.

“Apart from the scenes, nothing is happening there. I said that I will leave him in the morning. He rolled with us.”

The coroner then asked the witness about the messages that Mr. Slater sent about a watch which was probably being stolen.

The inquiry showed a Snapchat video, with a car characterized by a car dashboard, with a caption to take “12k roli” and “to get 10 quids for it”.

He said: “Jai did not steal any watch. I can say one hundred percent.”

Mr. Slater asked to explain the social media post, the witness said: “He can boast of his friends. He is in a discussion, so it may be perhaps. Sometimes people do exaggeration.”

The coroner said: “But as far as you are worried, none of them are true?”

Mr. Qasim said: “No. One hundred percent. I did not see a watch. At this point he is just firing messages.”

He said that when he reached his AirBNB, he gave Mr. Slater a blanket and pillow and said that he could sleep on the couch before going to his bed.
