Inquest into Former Only Way Is Essex Star Jake Halls Sudden Death in Mallorca
When 35‑year‑old Jake Hall was found dead on 6 May 2026, the world of reality television and fashion alike paused to wonder what had happened. The former Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) cast member was discovered in a holiday villa on Mallorca after colliding with a glass door, leaving the cause of his head injury a mystery.
The East London Coroner’s Court opened an inquest on 16 June 2026. The post‑mortem at East Ham Mortuary was inconclusive, unable to pinpoint a definitive cause of death. Hall’s body was flown back to the United Kingdom for further examination.
Coroner Nadia Persaud has requested copies of the toxicology report, police statements and witness accounts from Spanish authorities. She also declared Hall’s family members “interested persons,” granting them the right to question evidence or witnesses at a future inquest.
Hall’s media career began in 2015 when he joined TOWIE for its 14th series. He remained on the show for three seasons before leaving in 2024. Outside television, he founded menswear labels Prévu Studio and By Jake Hall and played in the band Yours.
The news sparked heartfelt tributes from former co‑stars and friends. Albanian model and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Misse Beqiri posted a lengthy message on social media, describing her heart as “shattered” and expressing love for Hall from the moment she met him. Former TOWIE partner Chloe Lewis, with whom Hall had a teenage on‑off relationship that ended in 2016, wrote on Instagram that he was “such a massive and special part of my life.”
Hall’s funeral took place on 12 June 2026 at St Mary the Virgin in Wanstead, London. Family, friends and former TOWIE cast members—including Lewis and Beqiri—attended, along with Sandra and Joanne, the mother and sister of Sir David Beckham. A memorial event followed at Unlocked Shoreditch, owned by Hall’s brother Sonny. The evening featured performances by Maverick Sabre, Tom Grennan and The Kooks, and showcased an art exhibition of Hall’s original paintings and a fashion installation celebrating his brands.
The inquest’s provisional next hearing is scheduled for 7 December 2026. No cause of death has yet been determined, and the investigation remains open.
The incident underscores the risks associated with holiday travel and the importance of safety measures in private accommodations. While the exact circumstances of Hall’s fatal head injury remain unclear, the coroner’s office continues to seek additional evidence from Spanish authorities.
Hall’s passing has left a void in the TOWIE community and among fans of his fashion ventures. His legacy will be remembered through the memorial exhibition and the ongoing support from his family and friends.
The case remains under investigation, with the next inquest date set for December 2026. Further updates will be provided as the coroner’s office receives additional evidence and completes its review.
