Caroline Flack’s brother, Paul Flack, has died at the age of 55, six years after the Love Island presenter died by suicide.
Paul was found unresponsive in his Sandringham Road home in Norwich on 21 June. He later died at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.
An inquest into Paul’s death opened at Norfolk Coroner’s Court yesterday (29 June).
Coroner Yvonne Blake said further enquiries would be required before the circumstances surrounding Paul’s death can be clarified. The brief hearing has been adjourned until 23 October as evidence continues to be gathered.
A graphic designer and artist, Paul is survived by his partner and their two children.
Caroline was found dead in her East London apartment in February 2020. She was 40.
Paul’s final post on Instagram dates back to August 2020, when he shared a tribute to his late sister.
In the aftermath of his death, messages have been coming in from Paul’s followers and fans, with one person writing: “So so sad! Rest in peace Paul.. reunited with Caroline again.”
“I have no words… rest in peace Paul and give your sister a massive hug,” was another comment.
“RIP Paul, may you spend eternity with Caroline and I send enormous strength to your mum and family x,” a third person wrote, while someone else offered: “How bloody tragic. I hope you are at peace together.”
“Just heartbreaking for Paul and his family .. RIP with your amazing beloved sister.. so so very sad,” someone else penned.
Caroline’s final months and the intense public scrutiny she was under are the subject of a 2025 Disney+ documentary, Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth, featuring interviews with her mum Christine, as well as close family and friends.
