Paul Flack, the brother of Caroline Flack, has passed away at the age of 55. He was discovered unresponsive at his residence in Norwich on June 21 and despite efforts to revive him, he succumbed at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.
This sad news follows six years after the tragic suicide of the Love Island presenter in February 2020. Paul is survived by his partner and their two children. The Norfolk Coroner’s Court has confirmed his passing and an inquest into the circumstances of his death was initiated on Monday.
Records indicate that the graphic designer and artist passed away in Norwich on June 21, only days after celebrating his 55th birthday on June 18. A preliminary post-mortem examination revealed that the cause of death was cardiac arrest resulting from hanging. The official inquest is scheduled for October 23.
Paul and Caroline shared a strong bond, as evident from his heartfelt tribute to her in his last Instagram post from August 2020. While not active on social media, fans have expressed their condolences below the post, with messages of love and support for the family.
Caroline Flack had three siblings, including her identical twin sister Jody (Jo), older sister Elizabeth (Lizzie), and older brother Paul. Last year, Paul appeared in a poignant Disney+ documentary alongside their mother, Christine, as they delved into the events leading up to Caroline’s tragic passing.
Christine has been vocal about seeking justice for her daughter and addressing the circumstances surrounding her untimely death. She has criticized the legal proceedings that Caroline faced and expressed regret for not speaking out earlier. Caroline took her own life following legal issues involving her boyfriend, Lewis Burton, in December 2019.
Coroner Mary Hassell concluded that Caroline ended her life due to the impending prosecution and the intense media scrutiny it would bring. Christine has since accused authorities of unfairly targeting her daughter due to her fame, alleging a biased pursuit of the case.
