The passing of Jordan Wright has deeply affected his former co-stars from The Only Way Is Essex, sparking uncertainty and concern. Authorities have stated that the circumstances surrounding Jordan’s demise are unclear, with the possibility of external involvement being investigated. The tragic discovery of Jordan’s body in a drainage ditch on the serene island of Phuket has left many puzzled, as he had recently relocated to Thailand at the age of 33. Known for his appearances on TOWIE and MTV’s Ex On The Beach, Jordan had a diverse career background, transitioning from a firefighter to a financial professional. His social media reflected a love for DJ-ing, motorbiking, and martial arts in the days leading up to his untimely death.
Despite his varied experiences, it seemed that Jordan had found peace in his new life in Thailand, as evident from his final Instagram post captioned “I’m home.” However, the events that unfolded shortly after painted a stark contrast to the tranquility he appeared to have been enjoying. Colleagues and friends remembered Jordan for his lively persona and infectious energy, yet he had checked into the Hotel COCO Phuket Bangtao alone before his passing. Reports indicate that he was scheduled to check out but never did, with no signs of forced entry or disturbance in his hotel room, adding to the mystery.
CCTV footage captured Jordan exhibiting erratic behavior outside the hotel, suggesting a sense of distress or urgency before his body was found by a worker from Myanmar. His belongings, including a hotel key card and an iPhone 17, were discovered nearby. The circumstances surrounding his death remain under investigation, awaiting autopsy results and toxicology tests. Authorities are withholding CCTV footage and refraining from speculating on the cause of death until official reports are released. Friends and family seeking clarification are encouraged to reach out to the police station for updates.
