British Reality Star Jordan Wright Dead at 33, Found in Drainage Canal in Thailand

The Only Way Is Essex‘s Jordan Wright has tragically died at the young age of 33.

The British reality TV star died in Thailand on Saturday (March 14). Local reports suggest he was found deceased, face down and barefoot in a concrete drainage canal area in some stagnant water. This occurred on the island of Phuket, Daily Mail reports. His hotel apparently said he had never checked out when he was supposed to on March 13.

Police chief Sutthirak Chuthong of Choeng Thale said in a statement, “The guest was identified as Mr Jordan Wright, a British national, whom the hotel had been unable to contact. A search of the room revealed no signs of forced entry or other irregularities. 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.”

He also made an appearance on the MTV series Ex on the Beach back in 2017.
