Missing teenager: ID delay possible
9:09pm Saturday 6th September 2008
The body found during the search for a British teenager missing in Tenerife might not be formally identified until next week.
The family of the teenager, named by the Daily Express as 17-year-old Max Sumner, are on the Canary island and will have to identify him.
The teenager was reported missing on Thursday after failing to return to his hotel in the resort of Playa de las Americas in the south of the island.
The Daily Express said the teenager was murdered and his body found on waste ground close to the hotel where he had been staying with friends.
A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office confirmed they were offering consular assistance to the teenager's family.
