Jake Hall, the 35-year-old star of the reality television series The Only Way Is Essex, has been found dead in Mallorca, Spain. The former reality TV personality was discovered unresponsive with head wounds reportedly caused by shards of glass at a villa on the Spanish island.
Investigation Underway
Officers investigating Hall's death have stated they are considering the possibility that he may have smashed his head through a glass door, according to reports. The Spanish Civil Guard is investigating the incident, which they believe appears to be an accidental death. Police have spoken to four men and two women who were staying at the villa at the time.
Authorities were called to the holiday rental in Santa Margalida, located in the north of the island, at approximately 7:30 AM on Wednesday. No arrests have been made, and an autopsy is scheduled to take place in Palma, the capital of Mallorca.
Foreign Office Support
A spokesperson for the UK Foreign Office confirmed they are supporting Hall's family, stating: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities.”
Hall's Recent Activity
Hall had been spending time in Mallorca with family and had been active on Instagram in the days leading up to his death, sharing videos and photographs of his holiday. In his final post on Wednesday, he wrote: “Life is bollocks sometimes but I’m gonna try remember the good things – looking through things – I’m just making art – in many forms.”
He frequently visited Mallorca, where he owned a second home, and had recently unveiled a sculpture he created on the island.
Tributes from Towie Production Team
The production team of The Only Way Is Essex paid tribute to Hall in a statement, saying: “Jake was a part of the Towie family for a number of years and we send our very deepest sympathies to his family and friends following today’s very sad news.”
Hall is survived by his daughter, River, with Ladies of London star Missé Beqiri.
