Caroline Flack’s brother, Paul Flack, has died at the age of 55.<\/p>\n
The tragic news emerges six years after the Love Island presenter’s own suicide, in February 2020. He leaves behind his partner and their two children.<\/p>\n
On Monday (June 30), an inquest into his death was opened at Norfolk Coroner’s Court.<\/p>\n
The coroner looking after the investigation, Yvonne Blake, said further enquiries would be required before the circumstances surrounding his death can be fully established.<\/p>\n
According to the documentation, the date of his death was recorded as 21 June, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n His final Instagram post remains a tribute to his sister, who passed away in 2020. Alongside a sweet picture of them together, he penned: “This will be my last post here. May those who know feel shame for eternity. Love you Caroline.”<\/p>\n The news comes six years after the loss of his younger sister who was just 40 when she died.<\/p>\n Caroline was one of Britain’s best-known television presenters, after hosting shows such as The Xtra Factor and Love Island.<\/p>\n Her devastating death in February 2020 spurred on a national conversation about mental health and the treatment of those in the public eye.<\/p>\n Following Caroline’s death, her family became outspoken about the impact the loss had on them and repeatedly called for greater compassion towards those facing mental health struggles and intense public scrutiny.<\/p>\n Paul was among those who paid tribute to his younger sister on social media, sharing photographs and heartfelt messages remembering the former TV presenter. In recent years, he had spoken about how deeply her death had affected the family.<\/p>\n Paul Flack appeared alongside his mother, Christine, and sister, Elizabeth, in the 2021 documentary Caroline Flack: Her Life and Death, which explored the presenter’s life and the impact of her death on those closest to her.<\/p>\n During the programme, Paul revealed that Caroline was the first thing the family thought about every morning as they gathered at her memorial bench on a rainy day.<\/p>\n “I just hope I can achieve something. And as long as you lot all don’t mind me doing it, I will go ahead,” their mother Christine said.<\/p>\n When life is difficult, Samaritans are here \u2013 day or night, 365 days a year.
