British reality television star Jordan Wright has been found dead in a drainage ditch on the Thai island of Phuket, authorities have confirmed.
According to reports by BBC, the 33-year-old was discovered near Bang Tao Beach on Saturday after being reported missing earlier in the week. Local media said that the body was found by a migrant worker in the area.
Police said a search of his room revealed no signs of disturbance or forced entry. Hotel records showed he had checked in alone and was due to check out last Friday, but failed to do so.
CCTV footage showed him behaving restlessly outside the hotel. His movements were later traced to the location where his body was discovered. Authorities are awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination.
Officials added that there were no visible signs of physical assault. Personal belongings, including his room key card and mobile phone, were found near the body.
He had previously appeared on British reality television programmes, including The Only Way Is Essex and Ex on the Beach. In the weeks prior to his death he had shared social media posts showing activities such as diving and motorbike riding while in Phuket.
