Misse Beqiri, the former partner of Jake Hall, has shared a devastating tribute following the tragic death of the Towie star. The fashion influencer died this week at the age of 35, after being found with head injuries in a pool of blood at a holiday villa in Majorca. His wounds were reportedly caused by shards of glass. He was on the island with his eight-year-old daughter, River, whom he had featured in his social media posts just hours before his death, calling her 'my world'.
Heartfelt Tribute from Beqiri
Taking to Instagram, the Real Housewives of Cheshire star posted a series of photos of Hall with River, including one from her birth. In a deeply personal statement, she wrote: 'I never thought I would ever have to write this, and the pain of even putting these words down feels unbearable. There was no way you were ever supposed to go. My heart is shattered, and so is our daughter's.'
She continued: 'You lit up every room you walked into – your smile, your charm, your energy that filled the air. The way you loved music, how deeply you felt every sound, your creativity, your mind, your spirit. You were so deeply loved by so many people, and seeing the love everyone has for you is both heartbreaking and beautiful all at once.'
Beqiri fondly recalled Hall's 'constant mission to stop me from taking naps' and said she loved him 'from the very first moment' she saw him. She added: 'Together we created the most beautiful girl, the one you loved more than anything in this world, beyond words. Your love for her was so strong it almost scared me, because I knew you would go to the ends of the earth for her. She adored you – her favourite person, her daddy.'
She concluded by vowing to 'keep River safe, loved, and wrapped in the kind of love you gave so effortlessly', saying Hall will 'live on' through their daughter.
Details of the Incident
Police found Hall lying in a pool of blood with fatal injuries caused by shards of glass after he reportedly smashed his head through a door. The former Towie star had been in Majorca with witnesses informing investigators that he had been 'partying all night and decided to carry on the party back at the place he was renting'. Police were called to the rented property at 7:30 am and have interviewed four men and two women staying at the house.
A neighbor told local paper Ultima Hora: 'It must have been around 2 am. It was late but I was still awake. I began to hear a very loud noise, as if they were drilling something. I felt the walls vibrate. They stopped after about five minutes and then I fell asleep.' Another neighbor said she had not heard anything out of the ordinary.
Hall's body was removed from the property at around 1 pm the following day. There have been no arrests, and an autopsy will take place in Palma. A Civil Guard spokesman said: 'There is nothing pointing to it being the result of a crime at this stage.'
Outpouring of Support
Beqiri was quickly inundated with emotional messages from fans and famous friends, including Georgia Harrison, Denise Welch, Millie Mackintosh, Sophie Habboo, Lauren Pope, Ashley James, and Roxy Horner. Her representatives had earlier issued a statement saying: 'At this time, Misse's focus is on supporting and protecting their child as they come to terms with this devastating loss. The family are asking for privacy, compassion, and respect while they grieve privately.'
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office confirmed they are supporting the family and are in contact with local authorities. ITV also paid tribute, stating: '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.'
Hall, who ran a menswear brand called By Jake Hall, had shared a hopeful caption on Instagram shortly before his death: 'Life is b******s sometimes but I'm gonna try remember the good things. Looking through things – I'm just making art – in many forms.'
