Jordan Wright, who starred in the reality show The Only Way Is Essex, was found dead in Thailand on March 14. A Burmese worker found the 33-year-old’s body face down in a drainage canal near Bang Tao Beach in Phuket. Authorities believe Wright was likely dead for two days before his body was discovered. Wright’s cause of death is unknown at this time. “The case remains under investigation while we wait for the official autopsy results,” Police Lieutenant Colonel Suthirak Chuthong told the Daily Mail. According to authorities, staff at the hotel where Wright was staying were concerned about him when he didn’t check out on March 13. “CCTV footage showed that he appeared restless and was moving back and forth in front of the hotel before leaving the area,” Chuthong added. Wright was found barefoot and without his phone, wearing a gray T-shirt and black pants. Investigators found his iPhone placed on a nearby bank. Wright is best known for his 17-episode run on the reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex in 2018. He returned to his career as a firefighter after allegedly being removed from the network for claims that he used sick days from the London Fire Brigade to film the reality TV show. Wright moved to Thailand earlier this year.
