The Only Way is Essex star Jordan Wright has been found dead aged 33.
"We are supporting the family of a British man who died in Thailand and are in contact with the local authorities," a spokesperson for the FCDO told The Sun.
Wright hailed from Basildon in Essex, and starred on both TOWIE and Ex on the Beach.
He previously dated Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison.
He quit reality TV to return to his previous job as a firefighter.
Police Lieutenant Colonel Suthirak Chuthong of the Choeng Thale Police Station said in a statement to the Daily Mail: “The guest was identified as Mr Jordan Wright, a British national, whom the hotel had been unable to contact. A search of the room revealed no signs of forced entry or other irregularities.
“Hotel records showed that he had checked in alone and was due to check out on March 13, but staff reported that he never checked out."
“CCTV footage showed that he appeared restless and was moving back and forth in front of the hotel before leaving the area. His movements eventually led to the location where his body was later discovered.”
"We are still waiting for the autopsy results from Vachira Phuket Hospital to determine whether drugs were present in his system."
He added: "The case remains under investigation while we wait for the official autopsy results. CCTV footage related to the incident is part of the case file and cannot be released at this stage.
"We cannot confirm the exact cause of death until the autopsy results are released. If relatives or friends have concerns about the cause of death, they can contact the police station."
