The family of Caroline Flack has received a fresh wave of sympathy following reports that her brother, Paul Flack, has died at the age of 55.
According to reports, Paul was found unresponsive at his home in Norwich on June 21. Emergency services attended the scene and he was later taken to Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, where he died.
A coroner has opened an inquest into his death. A provisional post-mortem examination has reportedly been carried out, but further enquiries are needed before the full circumstances are confirmed. The hearing has been adjourned until October 23.
Paul is survived by his partner and two children.
Following the news, attention returned to one of Paul’s final public Instagram posts, which was a tribute to his younger sister Caroline after her death in 2020.
In that post, he shared a childhood photograph of Caroline and wrote an emotional message remembering her. The post has since been discussed again by fans, many of whom saw it as a moving reminder of the grief he continued to carry.
Caroline Flack died in February 2020 at the age of 40. She was one of Britain’s best-known TV presenters, with credits including Love Island, The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing, which she won in 2014.
Her death led to a huge public reaction and also encouraged wider conversations about fame, online pressure, mental health and the need for more compassion in public life.
With Paul’s reported passing, the Flack family is once again facing a painful chapter. While the inquest continues and the full circumstances remain unconfirmed, many people are choosing to remember both siblings with kindness.
Fans have been sharing messages of support for the family, while also reflecting on the close bond Caroline and Paul appeared to share.
For now, the focus remains on sympathy, privacy and respect for those closest to them during such a difficult time.
