Caroline Flack’s Brother Paul Has Died, Aged 55

Caroline Flack’s older brother Paul has died at the age of 55.

BBC News has reported on Tuesday afternoon Paul was found unresponsive at his home in Norwich on Sunday 21 June.

He was then taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, where he later died.

Norfolk Coroners’ Court heard that the graphic designer and artist’s cause of death was cardiac arrest as a result of hanging.

A more in-depth inquest into Paul’s death is now due to take place in October.

Per Metro, Paul is survived by his partner and two children.

News of Paul’s death comes six years after his younger sister, Love Island host Caroline, took her own life at the age of 40 in February 2020.

At the time, the presenter had been awaiting trial following allegations that she had assaulted her boyfriend, which she refuted.

Caroline’s suicide led to widespread conversations around the treatment of public figures in the mainstream press and on social media.

Last year, Paul and his mum Christine Flack were among the contributors to the Disney+ documentary Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth.

An official synopsis for the two-part doc explained: “This powerful two-part Disney+ documentary follows Caroline’s mother, Christine, as she investigates the truth about her daughter’s final months – uncovering new shocking details, asking difficult questions, and exposing the misrepresentations, pressures, and failures from institutions and decision makers that shaped Caroline’s final days.

“With access to powerful testimony from Caroline’s inner circle and those who were there, the series tells the story she never got to share and reveals an unprecedented look at what really happened to Caroline Flack.”

Months after Caroline died, Paul shared a childhood photo of his youngest sister on Instagram, stating that it would be the final time he posted anything on the social media site.

“This will be my last post here,” he said at the time. “May those who know feel shame for eternity.”
