Paul Flack, the older brother of late television presenter Caroline Flack, has died at the age of 55, six years after the death of his sister.
Paul was found unresponsive at his home in Norwich, England, on June 21. He was taken to hospital, where he later died. A provisional post-mortem examination indicates he is believed to have died by suicide. An inquest into his death was formally opened at Norfolk Coroner’s Court on June 29, with further proceedings expected at a later date.
His death has brought renewed sadness for the Flack family, who continue to live with the loss of Caroline Flack, the former Love Island presenter who died in February 2020 at the age of 40. Her death prompted widespread discussion in the United Kingdom about mental health, media scrutiny and the pressures faced by people in the public eye.
Paul largely stayed out of the spotlight throughout his life, despite his sister’s fame. Family and friends remembered him as a devoted partner and father who cherished his loved ones. He is survived by his partner and two children.
News of his passing has led to an outpouring of sympathy from those who followed Caroline Flack’s career, with many expressing their condolences to the family as they face another heartbreaking loss.
The circumstances surrounding Paul’s death remain under investigation, and authorities have not released additional details beyond the preliminary findings.
