Towie Star Jordan Wright Died in Thailand With £10,760 Estate and No Will
The reality television personality was found deceased in a drainage ditch on the island of Phuket seven months prior to the revelation of his estate's value.
Former reality television star Jordan Wright, 33, was found dead in a drainage ditch on the Thai island of Phuket seven months ago, leaving an estate valued at £10,760 after deductions and without a will. Wright, formerly of "The Only Way Is Essex" (TOWIE), had his probate documents issued by the High Court of Justice last Wednesday.
Wright's estate was valued at £31,247, with the remaining £10,760 after deductions. His net worth had previously been estimated to be between £50,000 and £150,000. Neville Wright was named administrator of the estate, with court documents confirming Jordan died intestate.
Wright died on March 14. He had moved to Thailand shortly before his death. The TV personality, who appeared on TOWIE in 2018 and "Ex On The Beach" the previous year, had dated Vicky Pattison, a star of MTV's "Geordie Shore," in 2016.
Police in Thailand reported in March that the body of a British man had been discovered in stagnant water near Bang Tao Beach. CCTV footage reportedly showed him running erratically before his death. He was found lying face down in a water ditch, wearing a grey shirt and black trousers, but was barefoot. Officials noted the body appeared to have been there for some time, with no immediate signs of physical assault.
Wright's iPhone 17 was reportedly found on a nearby bank, and his pocket contained a hotel key card for Hotel COCO Phuket Bangtao, located approximately a 20-minute walk from where he was discovered.
Tributes were paid by some of his TOWIE co-stars following the news of his death, with Ferne McCann and Chloe Brockett sharing their condolences.
