Former The Only Way Is Essex personality Jake Hall has died at the age of 35 following a tragic incident at a holiday property in Majorca.
The reality television star was discovered with severe head wounds at a villa in the Spanish island, having apparently struck his head against a glass door.
Mr Hall was found lying in a pool of blood, with his fatal injuries reportedly caused by glass shards from the impact.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning after the star had been out celebrating with friends before returning to the rented accommodation.
Mr Hall has left behind his daughter River
|Spanish authorities were alerted to the property in Santa Margalida, located in northern Majorca, at approximately 7:30am local time.
Just hours before his death, Mr Hall had shared a poignant message with his Instagram followers that has since taken on a haunting significance.
Accompanying a video montage from his Spanish getaway, he wrote: "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." (sic)
The footage featured touching moments, including his daughter dancing by the water, the 35-year-old dressed in suits and dancing, and the family creating artwork together.
He had set The Rolling Stones' track Beast of Burden as the soundtrack to his upload. A day earlier, Mr Hall had posted photographs with his daughter, captioning them: "My world - my world! My world," alongside a heart emoji.
Following news of his passing, the post was inundated with tributes from devastated fans.
The Civil Guard is leading the ongoing investigation into Mr Hall's death, with officers working on the theory that he died in a tragic accident.
A police source told The Sun: "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."
The star first found fame on The Only Way is Essex
|Investigators have questioned four men and two women who were staying at the villa at the time of the incident.
The group reportedly informed officers they had been out for the evening and continued their celebrations after arriving back at the property during the early hours of Wednesday.
No arrests have been made in connection with the death, and a post-mortem examination is scheduled to take place in Palma, the Majorcan capital.
Mr Hall first rose to prominence when he joined Towie in 2015, appearing as a friend of Vas J Morgan and then-girlfriend Chloe Lewis.
