The Only Way Is Essex star Jake Hall posted a poignant message on social media just hours before his tragic death in a freak accident in Mallorca. The 35-year-old reality television personality was on holiday on the Spanish island when he suffered fatal injuries after crashing into a glass door.
Final Social Media Post
Just a day before his death, Hall shared an emotional video on Instagram, writing: "Life is b*****ks sometimes but I’m gonna try remember the good things - looking through things - I’m just making art - in many forms." The video featured clips of his daughter dancing by the water, as well as Hall himself wearing suits and dancing during the trip. The post, which had comments limited, has since been flooded with messages of condolence. He set the video to The Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden."
Earlier Post with Daughter
Another post from the previous day showed Hall with his daughter during the holiday. He captioned it: "My world – my world! My world," accompanied by a heart emoji.
Details of the Accident
Hall was found dead at a rented holiday villa in Santa Margalida, northern Mallorca, with head injuries caused by shards of glass. Reports indicate he had been partying with friends and returned to the property in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Police were called at 7:30 am local time. Four men and two women who were also staying at the address have been questioned by police.
A police source stated: "We are focusing on the theory the victim died in a tragic accident after hitting his head against the glass door but it is still too early to say definitely what happened." An autopsy is scheduled in Palma, and the investigation by the Civil Guard is ongoing.
Career and Legacy
Hall first appeared on The Only Way Is Essex in 2015 alongside his friend Vas J Morgan and was part of the cast from seasons 14 to 17. After his stint on the show, he focused on his fashion brand, By Jake Hall, and his previous label, Prévu Studio.
His death comes less than two months after former TOWIE star Jordan Wright was found dead in Phuket, Thailand, in March at age 33.
