Revealed: The door Jake Hall fell through moments before TOWIE star was ‘found dead with shard of glass in his neck’ in Majorcan villa

This is the glass-paneled door through which Jake Hall fell moments before he died at a villa in Majorca.

The tragic TOWIE star died on Wednesday morning in the sleepy village of Santa Margalida in the north of the Spanish island.

The 35-year-old fashion designer and artist arrived at her £200-a-night Airbnb on Tuesday, rolling her bag down the alley as she said hello to her neighbours.

That evening, Jake is believed to have spent a night in Palma before continuing to party at the villa with two men and three women.

The music continued from the early hours of the morning, but around 07.15, those living in terraced houses heard a loud noise and the sound of glass breaking.

Rafael, 70, who lived directly opposite the holiday home, rushed into the house and made his way to the veranda at the rear of the property, where he found Jake covered in cuts.

According to the construction worker, Jake thought the door to the patio and pool area was open at the time and accidentally hit it.

The door, consisting of single-glazed windows and wooden frames, broke upon impact.

Jake, who had injuries to his head and broken glass on his neck and chest, immediately collapsed on the veranda near the villa’s small pool.

Rafael went around the house to see if he could perform CPR on Jake, but unfortunately one of them’s father was already dead.

While Rafael was trying to save the man, Spanish-speaking women from the party were calling emergency services and an ambulance and the Guardia Civil arrived at the scene at 7.30am.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Rafael said: ‘I’m no hero. I would try to save anyone in this situation, and I’d like to think others would too.

‘We heard a loud explosion and the sound of glass breaking. I didn’t hear any screams. I was leaving for work, so I crossed the road and ran through the door. Then I could see a body lying on the porch surrounded by a pool of blood.

‘His friends were shouting ‘help’ on the street and he said his friends had an accident.

‘He was badly cut all over his body, especially his arms. He was topless, but someone had placed a t-shirt over his body. There were also glass shards on his neck and chest. He had a big red mark on his head.

‘He appeared to have walked through the glass patio door thinking it was open but it was actually closed. I tried to see if there was anything I could do to save him, but unfortunately there were no signs of life. ‘He wasn’t breathing and I couldn’t feel his pulse.’

As soon as emergency services arrived, Rafael left the Airbnb to move his car so the ambulance could park just outside the property.

Emergency services later pronounced Jake dead at the scene and his body remained outside the property until 1pm that day.

Legal sources told the Daily Mail the incident was being treated as an accident.

A later autopsy will confirm whether the disaster was caused by alcohol and possible drug abuse, as many speculated.

Rafael added: ‘When I ran into the house I was focusing solely on the injured man, but I did not notice any alcohol bottles or drugs bottles strewn around the property.

‘The well-dressed teenagers looked nervous and upset about their friends, but they did not appear to be drug addicts.

‘When I came back for a coffee break later all the young people who had been partying with him were sitting on the roadside while the Guardia Civil were standing nearby.

‘Two of the young women who came to me were thanking me in Spanish. The group appeared to speak mostly Spanish.

‘It’s normally a very quiet village and there aren’t usually any Brits here. It’s definitely not a party city. It’s so safe that we all leave our cars unlocked at night.’

Authorities in Majorca said there was currently no evidence of a crime, while a legal source said the death was being treated as an ‘accidental death’.

Authorities are now awaiting the results of an autopsy performed in Palma on Friday. The results will then be sent to the investigating judge; however these will not be published as is normal in Spain.

The death of the reality TV star and model is being treated as accidental, the Guardia Civil confirmed last night.

A Civil Guard spokesman said: ‘There is nothing at this stage to suggest this is the result of a crime.’

It is understood that police officers questioned many people, three men and three women, who were in the house at the time of the death. Their nationalities have not been confirmed yet.

It is understood an initial police report has been sent to an investigating judge in the nearby town of Inca and will receive autopsy results as they become available.

An autopsy will provide some answers and further tissue sample testing will then be sent to a specialist laboratory on the Spanish mainland.

The results will confirm whether Jake was addicted to drink and drugs when the accident occurred.

Hours before he died, Mr Hall shared a video showing himself dancing, painting and enjoying the local scenery.

Dedicated to the Rolling Stones’ classic Beast of Burden, the post was captioned: ‘Life is bullshit sometimes but I’ll try to remember the good things – ️ glancing at things – just making art – in many forms.’
