Former The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) star Jake Hall, 35, was reportedly found dead in a rented holiday villa in Santa Margalida, Majorca, after suffering serious head injuries following a night of partying.
Police discovered the reality TV personality in a pool of blood at around 7.30am on Wednesday, with the fatal injury believed to have been caused by broken glass, The Sun reported.
Police are investigating a possible tragic accident
Police are currently focusing on the theory that Hall may have been involved in a fatal accident with the glass door, although it is still too early to say definitively what happened.
A police source told The Sun: “We are looking at the theory that the victim died in a tragic accident after hitting her head on a glass door, but it is still too early to say definitively what happened.
Officials added that investigations are ongoing and no arrests have been made yet.
“Party all night” before death
According to news reports, witness statements indicate that Hall had been partying with a group before returning to the property in the early hours.
A police source said witnesses told investigators the group: “They had been baring all night and decided to continue the party at a place he had rented.
Neighbors also reported hearing a loud disturbance shortly before police arrived.
According to local reports cited by The Sun, residents described “loud noises” strong enough to “shake the walls”.
Police interviewed six people
Members of the Spanish Civil Guard reportedly interviewed four men and two women who lived in the villa with Hall.
