Overview
- Paul Flack was found unresponsive in his Norwich home on 21 June and died three days later at Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.
- Norfolk Coroner's Court opened an inquest on 29 June and coroner Yvonne Blake said additional investigations are required before the official cause is determined.
- A preliminary post-mortem reported cardiac arrest resulting from suicide but that finding is reported and remains subject to confirmation by the coroner's formal inquiry.
- Paul leaves a partner and two children and his final Instagram post, which featured a childhood photo of sister Caroline, read: 'This will be my last post here... I love you, Caroline.'
- The case recalls Caroline Flack's suicide in February 2020 and is likely to revive public attention on the effects of media scrutiny, online abuse, and support for grieving families.
