Brother of Late TV Star Caroline Flack Dies The brother of the late television presenter Caroline Flack, Paul Flack, has died at the age of 55. His death was confirmed after he was found unresponsive at his home in Norwich on 21 June, with further details revealed by the Eastern Daily Press. Paul, an artist and graphic designer, passed away at Norfolk and Norwich hospital, leaving behind his partner and two children. His final tribute was posted on his Instagram account, marking the end of his online presence. Paul Flack’s death has prompted an inquest, which was opened at the Norfolk coroner’s court. The coroner, Yvonne Blake, stated that additional investigations would be necessary to determine the circumstances surrounding his passing. The hearing was adjourned to 23 October, pending further evidence. The case has raised questions about the broader context of his life, including his family’s history of public scrutiny and personal struggles. Paul’s sister, Caroline Flack, was a prominent television personality known for her work on shows such as The X Factor, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, and Strictly Come Dancing, where she won in 2014. Her life and death were the focus of the 2021 documentary Caroline Flack: Her Life and Death, which explored her mental health challenges and the events leading to her suicide in February 2020. At the time of her death, she was 40, and a coroner ruled that she had taken her own life after learning prosecutors intended to proceed with an assault charge against her. The circumstances surrounding Caroline’s death have been the subject of ongoing public and legal scrutiny.#norwich #caroline_flack #paul_flack #norfolk_and_norwich_hospital #the_x_factor
Brother of TV Star Caroline Flack Dies Six Years After Her Passing Paul Flack, the older brother of late TV presenter Caroline Flack, passed away on 21 June 2026 at the age of 55. He was found unresponsive at his home in Sandringham Road, Norwich, and later died at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. An inquest into his death was opened at Norfolk Coroner’s Court, with a full hearing scheduled for October. Norfolk Police confirmed the death is being treated as unexplained but stated there are no indications of suspicious circumstances. Caroline Flack, the ex-Love Island and X Factor host, died by suicide in February 2020 at her London home. An inquest later determined she had taken her own life at 40 while facing trial for assaulting her boyfriend. The day before her death, she learned she would be prosecuted and feared press intrusion, according to the London inquest. Her death sparked widespread discussions about online hate and its impact on mental health, particularly for public figures. Paul and Caroline were born in London but grew up in Norfolk, where they shared a close bond. The organisers of Flackstock, a festival set up to promote mental health awareness in memory of the TV presenter, expressed profound grief over Paul’s death. In a statement on Instagram, the group said: “We loved Paul so deeply, and this news has shattered us all. Paul was funny, kind and loving. He gave the best hugs and had the most brilliant laugh. We will miss him so much.” The tragedy of Paul’s passing follows Caroline’s death, which had already drawn attention to the pressures faced by celebrities. Her brother’s death has reignited conversations about the mental health challenges of public figures and the role of media scrutiny in exacerbating such struggles.#norwich #caroline_flack #paul_flack #norfolk_police #flackstock
