Mystery surrounds TOWIE star Jake Hall's death after inquest fails to determine cause

A coroner has been unable to determine the cause of death for reality TV star Jake Hall, who died suddenly aged 35 last month. The former The Only Way Is Essex star was found dead with head injuries at a holiday villa in Mallorca following a collision with a glass door on May 6, East London Coroner’s Court was told on Tuesday. Hall’s body was repatriated to the UK but a post-mortem examination at East Ham Mortuary could not establish an exact cause of death, prompting area coroner Nadia Persaud to ask Spanish authorities to provide copies of the toxicology report, police reports and witness statements. Persaud also made Hall’s family members “interested persons”, meaning they will be able to interrogate evidence or witnesses at a future inquest, for which a provisional date has been set for December 7 2026. Hall had a daughter, River, eight, with 39-year-old Albanian model and Real Housewives of Cheshire star, Beqiri. Beqiri previously posted a lengthy tribute on social media and said her heart was “shattered” by his death, and that she loved him from “the very first moment I saw you”. Tributes have poured in over the past month, including from his ex-girlfriend and former Towie co-star Chloe Lewis, who wrote on Instagram that he was “such a massive and special part of my life”. The pair dated in their teenage years and starred in the ITV reality show together, where they were known for their tumultuous on-off relationship, which finally ended in 2016. Celebrity DJ Fat Tony also paid tribute on the day of Hall’s funeral, saying there was an “incredible turn out of love” there. The inquest into the father-of-one’s death remains open as authorities await further information from Spain.
