A British reality TV star who appeared on a string of shows, including The Only Way Is Essex, has been found dead in Thailand. Jordan Wright had moved to the country just weeks before his body was found in a canal in Phuket.
TOWIE star Jordan Wright has died at 33
It has been reported by multiple outlets that TOWIE’s Jordan has passed away at the age of 33. The reality TV star’s body was found in a canal in Phuket, Thailand, on March 14. Local police chief Sutthirak Chuthong confirmed the body had been identified as Jordan’s.
Concern about Jordan – who previously dated Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison – was first raised when the hotel he was staying at was unable to contact him. “Hotel records showed that he had checked in alone and was due to check out on March 13. But staff reported that he never checked out,” the local police chief told the Daily Mail. “A search of the room revealed no signs of forced entry or other irregularities.”
After analyzing CCTV footage from the area, investigators were able to locate Jordan’s whereabouts. But his body had been there for some time when they found him in a canal. Officials have said a post-mortem examination is now underway to determine the cause of death, but that there were no immediate signs of assault or a struggle.
Since his passing, several friends have shared their condolences.
“I’m a good judge of character and I knew Jordan was a great person from the moment I met him,” Jordan’s former manager told the Daily Mail. “He was a very good-looking lad, with a great, wide smile.”
“I know what [his family] is going through,” added a former neighbor of Jordan’s. “I wouldn’t wish that on anybody.”
