CCTV footage has captured the possible final moments of TOWIE (The only way is Essex) star Jordan Wright, before he was later found dead in a drainage canal. The 33-year-old Brit was seen at 23.25 on 12 March, sprinting through a Phuket hotel complex, repeatedly looking over his shoulder as if being chased. His body was later discovered around 300 metres from his hotel, raising questions about the circumstances of his death. Get today's headlines by email Jordan had recently moved to Thailand to start a new life and was staying alone at Hotel COCO Phuket Bangtao Beach. CCTV shows him appearing disoriented, grabbing a parked white pickup truck for support before continuing to run. He was due to check out on March 13 but never appeared, prompting concern from hotel staff. Police are now investigating whether Jordan was being chased, with officers reviewing CCTV footage to trace his movements earlier that evening. Lieutenant Colonel Sutthirak Chuthong of Choeng Thale district station said: “The circumstances leading up to the death are quite unclear. It is possible that other people were involved.” After leaving the hotel grounds, Jordan is believed to have crossed rough fields, jumped down a 10ft creek, and moved towards a nearby construction site without CCTV coverage. His final route led to a desolate, half-built area where his body was discovered two days later by a Myanmar worker harvesting vegetables. Hotel staff said there had been nothing unusual about his behaviour prior to his disappearance. They noted he would go out at night like other guests and had no visitors during his stay. Picture and video courtesy of The Sun Investigators at Choeng Thale Police Station said the drainage canal measures about 2 metres from ground level to the canal bed, making it difficult to climb out, especially at night. Police said Wright appeared to be in a distressed or agitated state and they believe he was unable to pull himself out before dying The Sun reported that the unclear sequence of events has left significant unanswered questions, including what caused his apparent panic and whether others were involved. Authorities are continuing to examine available footage and evidence to establish a clearer timeline. The case remains under investigation as police work to determine the exact cause and circumstances of his death.
