‘Ex on the Beach’ Star Found Dead in a Drainage Canal in Thailand at Age 33

British reality TV star Jordan Wright has reportedly died at the age of 33.

On Thursday, March 19, the Daily Mail reported that Wright was found dead face down in a drainage canal on Saturday, March 14 by a worker close to Bang Tao, Phuket, Thailand.

Surveillance footage reportedly showed him moving erratically before his death. He was wearing a gray shirt and black pants, without shoes.

Officials said the body appeared to have been there for some time but stated there appeared to be no signs of physical assault.

Wright’s iPhone 17 was reportedly recovered on a nearby bank, while a hotel key card for Hotel COCO Phuket Bangtao was found in his pocket. The hotel is reportedly about a 20 minute walk from where his body was discovered.

“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,” police chief Sutthirak Chuthong of Choeng Thale district station told the Daily Mail. “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.”

Chuthong added, “CCTV footage showed that he appeared restless and was moving back and forth in front of the hotel before leaving the area. His movements eventually led to the location where his body was later discovered.”

No cause of death has been publicly released as of now.

Wright was known for his time on MTV’s Ex on the Beach in 2017 and later on ITV’s The Only Way Is Essex in 2018.
