Non-league football clubs have joined in paying tribute following the death of The Only Way Is Essex star Jake Hall. The reality television personality, aged 35, was discovered dead at a holiday villa in Majorca, Spain, after what has been described as a tragic accident in which he crashed into a glass door.
Hall, who gained fame on the show while dating Chloe Lewis, was found in a pool of blood with head wounds caused by shards of glass. Reports indicate that he had been out partying and decided to continue the night at his rented property.
The fashion designer also had a football career, playing for clubs such as Grays Athletic and Boston United. Both clubs have expressed their condolences following the devastating news.
Grays Athletic stated: "Grays Athletic are deeply saddened to receive the news that former player Jake Hall has tragically died whilst on holiday in Majorca. The club would like to send its heartfelt condolences to Jake's family and friends at this very difficult time. RIP Jake."
Boston United posted: "RIP Jake... You were only with us a short time, but your presence shone the spotlight on the club. We will always remember that goal against Tamworth. Our thoughts go out to your family and friends."
Following the incident, four men and two women who were also staying at the address are believed to have been questioned by police. Police were called to the address in Santa Margalida at 7:30am local time. An autopsy is expected, and the ongoing investigation is being carried out by the Civil Guard.
