A post-mortem examination of reality TV star Jake Hall – who died suddenly in Mallorca aged 35 last month – could not determine the exact cause of his death, an inquest opening has heard.
The former Only Way Is Essex cast member was found dead with head injuries at a holiday villa on the island following a collision with a glass door on May 6, East London Coroner's Court was told on Tuesday (June 16).
The inquest heard Hall's body was repatriated to the UK but a post-mortem examination at East Ham Mortuary was unable to determine the cause of death.
Area coroner Nadia Persaud asked Spanish authorities to provide the court with copies of the toxicology report, police reports and witness statements. She also made Hall's family members “interested persons”, meaning they will be able to interrogate evidence or witnesses to a future inquest.
Hall was best known for his almost decade-long stint on Towie, having joined in 2015 and quit in 2024. He also ran a menswear brand called By Jake Hall, and is survived by his eight-year-old daughter, River, who he had with 39-year-old Albanian model and Real Housewives of Cheshire star, Misse Beqiri.
Beqiri previously posted a lengthy tribute on social media and said her heart was “shattered” by his death, and that she loved him from "the very first moment I saw you".
Tributes have poured in for Hall over the past month, including from his ex-girlfriend and former Towie co-star Chloe Lewis, who wrote on Instagram that he was "such a massive and special part of my life".
They dated in their teenage years and starred together on the ITV2 reality show, where they were known for their tumultuous on-off relationship, which finally ended in 2016.
On Friday (June 12), Hall's family and friends paid tribute to the star at his funeral, along with an immersive exhibition. Beqiri and Lewis, were among those present at the service, which took place at St Mary the Virgin, in Wanstead, London, alongside other former Towie stars and Sir David Beckham's mother, Sandra, and sister, Joanne.
A memorial followed at Unlocked Shoreditch, owned by his brother Sonny, and is said to have featured performances from his friends Maverick Sabre, Tom Grennan, and The Kooks. It was an evening of art and fashion, paying tribute to Hall's life, and reportedly included a fashion installation, an art exhibition of Jake’s original paintings, live performances, and a club night.
A provisional inquest date was set for December 7 2026.
