The former Towie star was found by cops in a pool of blood with fatal head wounds.
It comes after Jake battled a number of personal and professional struggles in recent years, from losing his fashion brand Prévu to being slapped with a restraining order by ex-girlfriend Missé Beqiri, the mother of his daughter River, seven.
Right from the beginning of his career in the spotlight, when he joined The Only Way is Essex in 2015, the hunky 6ft 4ins star was open about being uncomfortable with fame.
Shortly after his debut on the show, Jake said during an interview on This Morning: “I’ve got two clothing brands so it’s been amazing exposure for me, getting it out there.

“The privacy part has been quite difficult because everyone knows your life within days of being on the show.”
Before his death Jake was living permanently in Spain where he was renting an apartment.
But the country no doubt held dark memories for him after he was stabbed in a Puerto Banus nightclub in 2016.
The near-fatal incident resulted in Jake deciding not to return to Towie after taking a break to recover.

It was around that time that Jake started dating stunning Real Housewives of Cheshire star Missé.
They welcomed River in 2017 but just a year later things between the former couple soured, with him being given a restraining order and told not to contact his ex.
And in 2023 Jake opened up about suffering with “very low points” after the collapse of Prévu due to financial difficulties, with the brand owing £1 million to creditors.
After losing Prévu, he launched menswear line By Jake Hall and later credited his young daughter with saving his life after the professional failure.
He said: “If I’m honest, River is the reason I’m here today.
“It was the part that hurt most when I lost Prévu. I lost something that was for her, everything I do is for her and her future.”
But By Jake Hall went bust in 2025 in the red by £240,519, leaving Jake struggling financially once again.
After the firm collapsed, creditors reported it was just £35.96 in the black with Jake himself owing £10,000.
And Jake’s haunting final post on social media hinted he was facing yet more struggles.
He told fans: “Life is b******s sometimes but I’m gonna try remember the good things.”
