The 19-year-old, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, was believed to have gone to a holiday rental apartment on the island in the early hours after partying at a music festival before vanishing.
Evidence suggests he left the flat hours later, attempted to walk back to his own apartment and fell into a ravine.
A number of witnesses who were with him on the night he disappeared or at the rental apartment did not attend the inquest when it started at Preston Coroner’s Court in May.
Debbie Duncan, Mr Slater’s mother, asked the coroner to adjourn as the family still had questions for the last people to see him alive.

The hearing in May heard from witnesses including toxicology expert Dr Stephanie Martin.
Home Office pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd said his post-mortem examination gave cause of death as head injuries and the teenager’s showed no evidence of restraint or assault, with the pattern of injuries consistent with a fall from height.
Phone location data suggested he travelled to the holiday flat then left the property at around 7.45am the next day.
More messages from friends warned him about the “boiling” heat of the day but activity data on his phone stopped at 8.51am, suggesting the battery had died.
The coroner told the hearing that one explanation for Mr Slater’s death could be “he has walked into the middle of nowhere and fallen off a cliff”.
The inquest is scheduled to conclude on Friday.
