Police were called to the property in Santa Margalida, in the north of the island, at around 7.30am on Wednesday morning, where they found him in a pool of blood with fatal head wounds. Investigators believe the injuries were caused by shards of glass.

A Night Out That Turned Tragic

According to sources close to the investigation, Hall had been out partying through the night before returning to the villa he was renting along with a group of friends. Police have since questioned four men and two women who were staying at the property.

A source revealed that witnesses told investigators Hall had become increasingly agitated as the evening wore on, possibly due to alcohol and other substances.

The situation reportedly "turned aggressive", and there are suggestions he may have tried to harm himself by banging his head against objects.

Officers are currently focusing on the theory that Hall's death was the result of a tragic accident.

"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," a police source confirmed.

No arrests have been made, and an autopsy is due to take place in the Majorcan capital, Palma. The Spanish Civil Guard is leading the ongoing investigation.

The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed it is supporting Hall's family and is in contact with local authorities.

Neighbours reported hearing extremely "loud noises" — strong enough to make the walls vibrate — in the hours before police arrived.

One neighbour told local paper Ultima Hora that while the group had seemed "relatively normal" and had not appeared to be causing problems, he was unsettled by the appearance of one of the group members.

He also said he overheard them speaking in English about purchasing property in the area, before eventually hearing a loud drilling-like noise that stopped after around five minutes.

"I began to hear a very loud noise, as if they were drilling something," the neighbour said. "They stopped after about five minutes and then I fell asleep."

"Life is bollocks sometimes but I'm gonna try remember the good things – looking through things – I'm just making art – in many forms."

Others struggled to process what they were reading. "I actually can't believe this?? He doesn't drink, how'd he go through a glass door??" one devastated follower demanded.

"He's the same age as me and I've followed him for years, spoke to him, met him, been on nights out with him, bought his clothes. How'd this even happen?? Injured maybe but actually passed away?? Who was with him? How'd this even happen??"

From Essex to Majorca

Hall first rose to fame on "The Only Way Is Essex" in 2015, where he became well known for his relationship with co-star Chloe Lewis.

He left the programme in 2024 and had since launched a new clothing brand, By Jake Hall, after his previous label, Prevu, collapsed into liquidation.

He is survived by his daughter River, born in November 2017, whom he shares with model and former "The Real Housewives" cast member Misse Beqiri.

The pair had been in an on-off relationship since 2016 and became engaged in May 2018, though Hall was served with a restraining order later that year in December. Beqiri subsequently split from Hall after a series of tense disputes.

In a statement to Tyla, Beqiri's representatives said, "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."
