On April 24th, former reality TV star Jordan Wright, known from the only way his Essex and X on the beach, was laid to rest last Friday in his, hometown of Stanford, LeHope, Essex. The 33-year-old was found face-down in a drainage ditch in Fouquet, Thailand, on March 14th, by a local worker. His body was brought back home, and friends gathered at a 12th-century church for the service, leaving floral tributes like an anchor and his name, spelled out. Earlier this week, an inquest opened into his death, but got adjourned until September 14th, while they wait on toxicology results from A. Post Mortem, at Baseldon Hospital, police in Thailand say the lead-up remains unclear, with CCTV catching him acting restless, sprinting back to his hotel around midnight on March 12th, grabbing a truck to steady himself before dashing off again. Wright had been living that digital nomad life in Thailand since December, writing his white Kawasaki motorcycle, hitting beaches and training in, martial arts.

He started as a firefighter in Baseldon, dipped into reality TV for episodes across both shows, then bounced back to the fire brigade before shifting. To finance as director of a London investment firm, investigators noted no cameras near the wasteland where he was found, his iPhone nearby, hotel key in his pocket, and his bike still at the four-star. Hotel COCO, Fouquet Bengtao Beach, where he was set to check out the day before, they are probing if others were involved, as he seemed alone with no guests reported. Friends called it a lovely send-off, bowing though never forget his muggy laugh or party spirit, remembering him as the fun guy who lit up rooms and always showed up for a good time. His story leaves us pondering those twisty paths we all walk.
